An overly centralized economy, not the changes in the climate, is responsible for the poor agricultural production in Country X since its new government came to power. Neighboring Country Y has experienced the same climatic conditions, but while agricultural production has been falling in Country X, it has been rising in Country Y.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A) Industrial production also is declining in Country X.
(B) Whereas Country Y is landlocked, Country X has a major seaport.
(C) Both Country X and Country Y have been experiencing drought conditions.
(D) The crops that have always been grown in Country X are different from those that have always been grown in Country Y.
(E) Country X's new government instituted a centralized economy with the intention of ensuring an equitable distribution of goods.
问题分析:A说X国家工业产量也下降了,文章围绕的是农业产量谈的,这个围绕工业产量谈的,显然没关系,杀。
B说一个国家是内陆国家一个国家是港口国家,没说,杀。
C说这两个国家都经历过干旱,原文说climatic condition,可这个天气是干旱吗,不知到有可能是有可能不是,主观答案,杀。
D说X和Y两个国家农产品不一样,说的就是两个国家有一些差异,而且这个差异还是和农业有关系的crop,有关,留着。
E说新政府采用一些措施保证平等的distribution,显然没说,干掉。
