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?
Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances.
Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome.
Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means.
Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist's position in order to be better able to attack it.
Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people.
老师：请问Environmentalist反驳Milville business spokesperson的点是不是算方案本身具有缺陷呢？B是不是错在certain desirable outcome 在Environmentalist眼里根本就没有什么好的结果呢？因为他说很多外地游客都不来了
其实这道题和方案没什么关系。商人说，因为我们这儿的经济要靠滑雪业，所以不用考虑污染问题。环境学家反驳的点在于，如果你再不考虑污染问题，那么经济业没了，没人愿意来了。选项B说，质疑了一个假设，这个假设是特定的好结果会超过一个坏的影响。这个假设确实是商人的假设，但环境学家没质疑这一项，也就是说，环境学家可能也认为确实经济大于污染。环境学家质疑的点是，有污染后，可能就没有经济了。
明白了，谢谢，所以环境学家认为根本就不会产生商人说的经济效果
是的。
选项“certain desirable outcome 【is outweighed by】 negative aspects associated with producing that outcome”说的是利小于弊啊，看被动态。环境学家不是challenge"利小于弊“，而是支持。商人的assumption也不是"利小于is outweighed by弊“，而是"利大于outweighes弊“。这种B攻击A的题，经常玩文字游戏。sigh！
