不知道怎么帖过来.就是两个石油公司的题.答案是E我选的是D.D是说一个关掉,一个扩张,关掉的公司的工人可以去扩张的那个

我开始也选了D, 看到了E才觉得E 更好.

E 是绝对的weaken(他因所致)

D 用了would, if 等词, 虽然能weaken但是不如E 好.

你觉得呢?

方便后人讨论，帖一下题：

Q21:
The OLEX Petroleum Company has recently determined that it could cut its refining
costs by closing its Grenville refinery and consolidating all refining at its Tasberg
refinery. Closing the Grenville refinery, however, would mean the immediate loss of
about 1,200 jobs in the Grenville area. Eventually the lives of more than 10,000 people
would be seriously disrupted. Therefore, OLEX’s decision, announced yesterday, to
keep Grenville open shows that at OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire
for higher profits.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument given?
A. The Grenville refinery, although it operates at a higher cost than the Tasberg
refinery, has nevertheless been moderately profitable for many years.
B. Even though OLEX could consolidate all its refining at the Tasberg plant, doing
so at the Grenville plant would not be feasible.
C. The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated than the Grenville refinery with
respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum.
D. If the Grenville refinery were ever closed and operations at the Tasberg refinery
expanded, job openings at Tasberg would to the extent possible be filled with
people formerly employed at Grenville.
E. Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, with
demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.

Answer: E

e 是他因解释前提，从而达到weaken结论的目的

C为什么不对？我觉得C更好啊。。。

搬走是因为搬到新的地方更省钱啊。。。

C. The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated than the
respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum.

E. Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost,
demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites.

E里面说这个法规是cleanup 过多的工业站点。但是OLEX能同意搬走也至少能说明OLEX能顾全大局，还是social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire for higher profits。

偶觉得C好，直接说OLEX搬走就是为了省钱，因为新的地方更符合供油得线路。。。

NN们现身啊！！！再过两天就考了。。。

Ｃ的语序可以调整为The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum.than the Grenville refinery ．Ｔ比Ｇ在原油供应路线上有经济优势．还是因为钱

Agree with XiaMai.  E is the best.

E一直说的就是cost，没有提到social concerns 和higher profits.
而A，则说profits 会有很多，所以这题应该是A吧？？？

A跟文章也没有关系啊

我觉得是D
