B should be the right answer. The argument is talking about why it is misleading. The voters misunderstand that the law will be extended to the whole state to ban smoking everywhere (not only in retail establishments and in government offices.)because the campaign workers only ask “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?” the workers do not say clearly that it is only for retail establishments and in government offices. The result will lead to the voters' disappointment b/c they are not going to see smoking banned statewide because:1) all cities and most towns already have antismoking ordinances (stated by the original argument), and 2) In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.(stated by choice B). Hence, in rural area, smoking ban or not, you are not going to see much change.
C is not related. |
