Suriland cannot both export wheat and keep bread plentiful and affordable in Suriland. Accordingly, Suriland’s wheat farmers are required to sell their crop to the government, which pays them a dollar per bushel less than the price on the world market. Therefore, if the farmers could sell their wheat on the world market, they would make a dollar per bushel more, less any additional transportation and brokerage costs they would have to pay.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
Suriland’s wheat farmers have higher production costs than do farmers in many other wheat- producing countries.
Sale of a substantial proportion of Suriland’s wheat crop on the world market would probably depress the price of wheat.
The transportation and brokerage costs that Suriland’s farmers would face if they sold their wheat outside Suriland could amount to almost a dollar per bushel.
Suriland is surrounded by countries that do not import any wheat.
The price of a bushel of wheat on the world market occasionally drops below the average cost of producing a bushel of wheat in Suriland.
没看懂题目里头less的意思，在B和C之间纠结最后选了C。
因果推理：如果农民能把小麦拿到国际市场上去，刨掉运输和中间商费用，能比卖给政府每bushel多挣1美元。
B反驳的点是：农民把小麦拿到国际市场上去卖以后，会导致国际市场上小麦的供需发生变化，使得小麦价格下跌，于是每bushel就不能多挣1美元了。
C是说农民把小麦拿到国际市场去卖，自己出的运输和中间商费用，会跟多挣的这1美元持平。但是题目里头说的是跑掉了运输和中间商费用了。
make a dollar per bushel more, less any additional transportation and brokerage costs they would have to pay. 这里的less是“减掉”的意思，这句话看懂了就不会选错了。
