Automobile emissions are a significant source of air pollutants, and cars over five years old typically generate significantly greater amounts of pollutants than newer cars. In Torinia, which has recently built its first automobile manufacturing plant, most cars are over five years old. Aiming to boost Torinia's economy and reduce air pollution, the government plans to introduce incentives for Torinians to scrap their old cars every five years and replace them with new ones.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the likelihood that the planned incentives, if implemented, will achieve both of the cited aims?

(A) Without the implementation of the planned incentives, most Torinians who own an old car would be unlikely to buy a new car.
(B) Torinia's automobile plant manufactures car models that typically generate smaller amounts of air pollutants than most similarly sized car models manufactured elsewhere.
(C) The new cars produced in Torinia are not likely to be exported to other countries.
(D) The largest source of atmospheric pollutants in Torinia is not automobile emissions, but emissions from power plants.
最大的空氣污染源是工廠, 不是汽車排放. 我當初選了這答案, 是因為沒看完題目就選, 真是不應該, 事實上應該是汽車排放雖不是最大, 但可能是第二第三大, 仍然可以reduce空氣污染的嚴重性, 所以不能推翻. 因此還是要把選項給看完, just in case, 我太大意了, 為了趕時間多做題. 哀
另外, 最高級, largest, other 通常都不是選項.
(E) The manufacture and the scrapping of cars each generate significant amounts of air pollutants.

我也是de決選,我想d不夠好是因為這個power plants並不一定是回收汽車的plant,換句話說,it is not specific enough
(E) The manufacture and the scrapping of cars each generate significant amounts of air pollutants.

請問題目的最後一句if implemented, will achieve both of the cited aims是形容planned incentives的嗎？

哈～我自問自答好了, 我想應該是這樣that the planned incentives will achieve both of the cited aims if implemented

Aiming to boost Torinia's economy and reduce air pollution

[lovemifi]

我有疑問是選項E雖然可以削弱reduce air pollution這一點沒錯

但是問題是要問undermines the likelihood that the plan will achieve both of the cited aims

我很困惑選項E哪裡可以削弱boost Torinia's economy 這一點了?

還是說只要其中一個被削弱了以致於plan不能achieve both aims這樣就行了

也就是說並不需要兩個都削弱也能算正確答案,是這樣嗎?

拜託指點迷津 3Q囉

這題有點難, 我想應該可以用這樣去解釋, 當你不要製造那麼多污染後, 那也就沒辦法去用scrap their old cars every five years 來boost economy 沒有直接去 undermine, 但有間接, 但跟選項D比起來 D 沒有undermine的那麼多 CR就是要記住, 那個選項是 most seriously undermines
