Utrania was formerly a major petroleum exporter, but in recent decades economic stagnation and restrictive regulations inhibited investment in new oil fields. In consequence, Utranian oil exports dropped steadily as old fields became depleted. Utrania's currently improving economic situation, together with less-restrictive regulations, will undoubtedly result in the rapid development of new fields. However, it would be premature to conclude that the rapid development of new fields will result in higher oil exports, because__________.

答案是B
(B) the improvement in the economic situation in Utrania is expected to result in a dramatic increase in the proportion of Utranians who own automobiles.

請問他的思路是說
因為U的經濟狀況也變好了, 有車的人數變多, 石油內銷也會增多
所以反駁了U的石油出口會增加
請問是這樣嗎??謝謝

我覺得你的想法沒錯啊
本題應該是此因(rapid development of new fields)造成他果(increase in the proportion of Utranians)來weaken假設結果(higher oil exports)

可以請教C選項嗎
如果new oil fields都被foreign sources給進入
那不是也無法達到更多石油的出口嗎
因為有了更多的競爭
當然B的答案我是同意的

幫貼全部
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

Ukraine was formerly a major petroleum exporter, but in recent decades economic stagnation and restrictive regulations inhibited investment in new oil fields. In consequence, Utranian oil exports dropped steadily as old fields became depleted. Utrania's currently improving economic situation, together with less-restrictive regulations, will undoubtedly result in the rapid development of new fields. However, it would be premature to conclude that the rapid development of new fields will result in higher oil exports, because __________.

(A) the price of oil is expected to remain relatively stable over the next several years
(B) the improvement in the economic situation in Utrania is expected to result in a dramatic increase in the proportion of Utranians who own automobiles
(C) most of the investment in new oil fields in Utrania is expected to come from foreign sources
(D) new technology is available to recover oil from old oil fields formerly regarded as depleted
(E) many of the new oil fields in Utrania are likely to be as productive as those that were developed during the period when Utrania was a major oil exporter

C看起來是背景資訊討論 因為題目是在討論進出口的關係 而C是在討論新油開發的問題 新油開發算背景裡的資訊 而非題目所要的
