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?
Industrial production also is declining in Country X.
Whereas Country Y is landlocked, Country X has a major seaport.
Both Country X and Country Y have been experiencing drought conditions.
The crops that have always been grown in Country X are different from those that have always been grown in Country Y.
Country X's new government instituted a centralized economy with the intention of ensuring an equitable distribution of goods.
P:XY两个邻国都经历了相同的天气情况,但是X农产量下降,Y农产量上升->C:X国新上任的政府,不是天气,要对下降的农产量负责
choice b, Y国处于内陆,但X国有一个主要的港口。 irrelevant, 必须要暗示地形对于农作物的影响,原文没说不能脑补
choice d,X国和Y国种植的农作物品种不一样,correct,也就解释了为什么相同天气条件下农产量不一样
