Sonya: The government of Copeland is raising the cigarette tax. Copeland's cigarette prices will still be reasonably low, so cigarette consumption will probably not be affected much. Consequently, government revenue from the tax will increase.
Raoul: True, smoking is unlikely to decrease, because Copeland's cigarette prices will still not be high. They will, however, no longer be the lowest in the region, so we might begin to see substantial illegal sales of smuggled cigarettes in Copeland.
Raoul responds to Sonya's argument by doing which of the following?
Questioning the support for Sonya's conclusion by distinguishing carefully between no change and no decrease
Calling Sonya's conclusion into question by pointing to a possible effect of a certain change
Arguing that Sonya's conclusion would be better supported if Sonya could cite a precedent for what she predicts will happen
Showing that a cause that Sonya claims will be producing a certain effect is not the only cause that could produce that effect
Pointing out that a certain initiative is not bold enough to have the effect that Sonya predicts it will have
My notes 此题做对，但是在E选项纠结很久 E的错误在bold enough ，如果按照E的解释，够bold ，那就increase higher 咯，就会有predict effect，其实不是，是替代品的问题，和你提升程度也就是bold的程度无关，只要涨价，ppl will turn to alternatives
我觉得应该是由于substantial illegal sales of smuggled cigarettes的出现使政府财政收入增加没有Sonya说的那么可能，而不是直接否定Sonya说的一定就是错的，感觉想一个问题两个角度，Roaul只是怀疑政府财政收入是否会增加这一个结论
bold enough 在这里应该翻译成“足够大胆”还是“足够明显”？
