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.
选项E： Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people.
Denying + that引导的宾语从句。 宾语从句里边的that引导定语从句修饰an effect, the spokesperson presents (an effect) as having benefited a certain group of people， 是说spokesperson认为的snowmobiles给人们带来的经济利益，其实已经成为过去，（actually benefited用的是过去时），现在的实际情况是人们因为污染和噪声不来了。
选项B：certain desirable outcome (=经济利益）is outweighed by negative aspects (=污染和噪声），意思是经济利益没有环境重要，而spokesperson认为可以为了经济利益容忍对环境的污染。
选项好绕，一想到时间限制，就乱选了。
