Q38:

In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?”  The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.

Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?

A. Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.

B.   In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.

C.   The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.

D. There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.

E.   The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.

原文是一帮人请愿希望扩大禁止在公共场所抽烟的范围到州级，E 说即使你扩大到了州级对你目前已定的禁烟场所没有影响，白干。呵呵~

我也觉得是C，因为MISLEADING的地方在于新的PETITION实际上并不是简单的EXTANDING，新的PETITION把原来的LOCAL规矩WEAKEN了。

ps. "ordinances, which contain stronger" 好像不符合ETS的语法规定？？

莎莎，这题藕被你问蒙了，只看题干没看懂。要结合原文看，原文讲的是一个请愿希望在全州范围内禁止在零售店和政府机关的公共场合吸烟。

题干问的是下面那种情形会使这个请愿被误解为请求将禁烟范围由地方城镇到整个州。

E说这个（被请愿的）州法，不会影响现有的地方法律。（也就是说，如果VOTER理解为被请愿的州法是扩大禁烟范围，那么VOTER就是MISUNDERSTANDING 了。

搞了半天這题挺繞的,,..昏...

我怎麼覺得CE都像在釐清 州法律 和地方法律  所以這樣不會造成誤導misleading



而D 在那些抽煙有限制的州 voter 比較容易意氣用事   這樣不是比較容易造成 misleading ....?

想通了 答案是E

我觉得这道题的解决关键在题目的问法。

Misleading means contrary to or weaken the argument of as extending the local ordinances statewide

题目的逻辑推导过程：

Real: all cities and most towns;

Petition: state

A: irrelevant

B: irrelevant

C: 地方法律从属于州法，support

D: 国家范围内存在其他想法，irrelevant

E：州法在有些地区无效, weaken.

So E.
