Mansour: We should both plan to change some of our investments from coal companies to less polluting energy companies. And here’s why. Consumers are increasingly demanding nonpolluting energy, and energy companies are increasingly supplying it.
Therese: I'm not sure we should do what you suggest. As demand for nonpolluting energy increases relative to supply, its price will increase, and then the more polluting energy will cost relatively less. Demand for the cheaper, dirtier energy forms will then increase, as will the stock values of the companies that produce them.
Therese responds to Mansour’s proposal by doing which of the following?
Advocating that consumers use less expensive forms of energy
Implying that not all uses of coal for energy are necessarily polluting
Disagreeing with Mansour’s claim that consumers are increasingly demanding nonpolluting energy
Suggesting that leaving their existing energy investments unchanged could be the better course
Providing a reason to doubt Mansour’s assumption that supply of nonpolluting energy will increase in line with demand
第一个人为什么要改变投资,因为改变了以后更赚钱
第二人为什么反对,因为改变了也不一定会赚钱/不会赚钱
D可以证明改了也不一定挣钱,和第二个人要表达的态度一致,
A只是原文逻辑链中的一环,不是全部(而且要说的更贴切一点,应该加个tend to)
E第二个人没有质疑第一个人的假设,第二个人的逻辑完全是另一回事
