X: In order to reduce the amount of plastic in landfills, legislatures should impose a ban on the use of plastics for packaging goods.

Y: Impossible! Plastic packaging is necessary for public safety. Consumers will lose all of the safety features that plastic offers, chiefly tamper-resistant closures and shatterproof bottles.

Which of the following best describes the weak point in Y's response to X's proposal?


Y ignores the possibility that packaging goods in materials other than plastic might provide the same safety features that packaging in plastic offers.

The economic disadvantages of using plastics as a means of packaging goods are not taken into consideration.

Y attempts to shift the blame for the large amount of plastic in landfills from the users of plastic packaging to the legislators.

Y does not consider the concern of some manufacturers that safety features spoil package appearances.

Y wrongly assumes that X defends the interests of the manufacturers rather than the interests of the consumers.

考题讲解

情景：略

推理：本题属于一种对话类的题目，这种题目一般都是一人提出一种推理模式，另外一个人找出提出推理模式这个人的一个CQ，也就是那个人的评估方向。当判断出了推理模式和第二个人用的CQ时，本题也就解出来了。。
X显然给出了一个方案模式的推理。方案是：legislatures should impose a ban on the use of plastics for packaging goods.
Y试图评估X的方案推理，它提出X的CQ3：方案的否定性副作用，即，不用塑料会让顾客丧失塑料的一切安全属性。
总体来说，这种题型比较简单，不用我们自己想评估方向。只要能识别出原文给出的就可以了。

选题方式：本题属于方案推理，答案选项一定要提到方案的否定性副作用。

选项分析：

A选项： Correct. Y忽略了除掉塑料以外其他材料也能提供同等的安全属性。显然，本选项直接涉及了Y提出的X的方案的否定性副作用。

B选项：用塑料来包装商品的经济弊端并没有被考虑。

C选项：Y试图将垃圾填埋场的大量的塑料制品从谴责用塑料的人转移到立法者身上。

D选项：Y没有考虑一些制造商关于安全特征损坏包装外貌的担心。

E选项：Y错误的假设了X维护制造者的利益而非消费者的利益。
