Editorial:
Regulations recently imposed by the government of Risemia call for unprecedented reductions in the amounts of pollutants manufacturers are allowed to discharge into the environment. It will take costly new pollution control equipment requiring expensive maintenance to comply with these regulations. Resultant price increases for Risemian manufactured goods will lead to the loss of some export markets. Clearly, therefore, annual exports of Risemian manufactured goods will in the future occur at diminished levels.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument in the editorial?
The need to comply with the new regulations will stimulate the development within Risemia of new pollution control equipment for which a strong worldwide demand is likely to emerge.
The proposed regulations include a schedule of fines for noncompliance that escalate steeply in cases of repeated noncompliance.
Savings from utilizing the chemicals captured by the pollution control equipment will remain far below the cost of maintaining the equipment.
By international standards, the levels of pollutants currently emitted by some of Risemia's manufacturing plants are not considered excessive.
The stockholders of most of Risemia's manufacturing corporations exert substantial pressure on the corporations to comply with environmental laws.
P:R国新法规导致加装昂贵的设备来减少排放，因此产生的成本会转移到产品上，因而伤害这些产品的出口市场->C:R国生产的产品在未来的出口将处于一个降低的水平
choice a, 新法规会刺激R国出现减排设备，这种设备的需求有可能在海外出现。 correct, 法规颁布之后R国所有出口产品= 法规颁布之后减少的出口产品+ 法规颁布之后新增的出口减排设备
