Question 10:
Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.
Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.
Environmentalist: I disagree: A great many cross-country skiers are now kept from visiting Milville by the noise and pollution that snowmobiles generate.
Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?B
A. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only
one set of circumstances
B. Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome
C. Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved
in greater degree by a different means
D. Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist’s
position in order to be better able to attack it
E. Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people
答案是B,我做题时,也是选了B,但是回头看时,觉得应该是E,因为B中"that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome"作为assumption的同位语从句作为Environmentalist驳斥的内容,说的是,与产生好的结果相关的负面因素,的影响超过了好的结果的影响。所以我觉得可能答案E更好一些。。。请大家帮忙。谢谢。
