The imposition of quotas limiting imported steel will not help the big American steel mills. In fact, the quotas will help "mini-mills" flourish in the United States. Those small domestic mills will take more business from the big American steel mills than would have been taken by the foreign steel mills in the absence of quotas.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most serious doubt on the claim made in the last sentence above?
Quality rather than price is a major factor in determining the type of steel to be used for a particular application.
Foreign steel mills have long produced grades of steel comparable in quality to the steel produced by the big American mills.
American quotas on imported goods have often induced other countries to impose similar quotas on American goods.
Domestic "mini-mills" consistently produce better grades of steel than do the big American mills.
Domestic "mini-mills" produce low-volume, specialized types of steel that are not produced by the big American steel mills.
无进口钢材配额限制的时候,Big American Steel Mill会将业务签给第三方生产商(本国小厂和外国工厂)。因为在没有进口配额的限制的情况下,外国加工的成本会更低,待外国工厂完工后再运回美国,类似做法如:apple,nike这样在中国的代工厂)
根据文章:在没有配额限制时期,本国小厂从BASM得到的订单已经比外国工厂多了,那么如果限制进口配额(外国工厂的订单会下降),本国工厂就会得到更多的订单,所以限制进口配额对BASM没什么意义。
P:(果)限制进口配额的时候对BASM不利,对小厂更有利
C:(因)不限制进口配额的时候小厂比国外订单的多
E选项,小厂只生产低产量的特型钢(他因:限制进口配额时,外国工厂订单少了,小厂也不会多,这些订单只可能是BASM自己生产)
