支持B！
    政客的提问让rural people 以为是将本地法令扩至全州,而实际上政客是让他们去为一个本地不需要的法令请愿. 这种misleading是最强的

E. is the only one that contradicts the petition that is being circulated.  The petition implies that if they sign it, then the state smoking ban will take precendent over local bans (it will be the more important consideration).  But E. says that in the case of the fire laws, the local ordinances (laws) will still be the ones that are followed - not the State law.  A - D really have no implication for the circulating petition, except C, which says that even though the local laws are stronger, the State law will have more power.  This doesn't contradict what the petition says - it basically enforces what it says.

在一个州，所有的城市和大多数乡镇（这两个概念和rural相对）都有禁烟令。一些游行的工人通过问：“你想在全州禁烟的请愿上签名吗”来把这个“为全州禁烟的请愿”传播到选民中，这个请愿实际上是支持全州在对公众开放的大多数零售商店和政府办公室禁烟。

    

问题：下面那一个情况会使得那些（误把这个请愿当成是扩展地方法令到全州范围内的）选民被这种游行请愿误导。也就是那种情况会使得选民的真正意愿被那些游行的工人误导了（因为他们的口号没有提及到他们真正禁烟的范围）

    

A. Health costs
associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone
and so affect nonsmokers. 吸烟的健康成本，什么保险费率无关选项。

    

B. In rural areas of
the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government
offices that are open to the public.在农村，很少有对公众开放的政府办公室和零售商店。前面提到了city和town实际上ets好像暗示了正确答案要有rural area；思路是这样的：因为农村很少有这些对公众开放的零售商店和办公室，所以游行的工人实际上是没有赞成在这些地方禁烟的，但是他们的口号却是全州的，就是也包括了在农村禁烟，所以这种情况使得这些游行的工人误导了选民。

    

C. The state law
would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans
than the state law does. 州法将取代地方禁烟法规，而那些地方法规比州法的法律更严。这个就是选民的真实意思啊，他们一位这些工人游行就是为了把原来的地方性法规扩展到全州啊，由州法取代地方法规。所以不会构成误导的情况。

    

D. There is
considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction
of smoking.在州的大部分地区，选民对禁烟都有一些可观的sentiment，大概就是说大家都赞成禁烟吧。赞不赞成禁烟和误不误导选民是两个问题，这些游行的工人可能赞成在政府办公室禁烟，但是他不赞成在别的地方禁烟呢，他还是会误导选民啦，无关选项

    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. 在消防局已经认为吸烟将会引起火灾的地方，州法将不会影响现在地方性禁烟法规。首先火灾只是吸烟的后果之一，所以这个选项不可能成为正确选项，凭什么说火灾呢？在某些地方不改变地方法规，就不会对选民构成误导吗？

完全同意樓上所說

只要注意 

1. who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?

2. The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.

3. 那麼其實在加入簽名時, 人們不會在乎rural地區有沒有沒那麼多retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public. 因為口號上ONLY 說它是statewid 的restriction. --->當然是誤導囉!
