51. One variety of partially biodegradable plastic beverage container is manufactured from small bits of plastic
bound together by a degradable bonding agent such as cornstarch. Since only the bonding agent degrades,
leaving the small bits of plastic, no less plastic refuse per container is produced when such containers are
discarded than when comparable nonbiodegradable containers are discarded.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
(A) Both partially biodegradable and nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers can be crushed
completely flat by refuse compactors.
(B) The partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers are made with more plastic than comparable
nonbiodegradable ones in order to compensate for the weakening effect of the bonding agents.
(C) Many consumers are ecology-minded and prefer to buy a product sold in the partially biodegradable
plastic beverage containers rather than in nonbiodegradable containers, even if the price is higher.
(D) The manufacturing process for the partially biodegradable plastic beverage containers results in less
plastic waste than the manufacturing process for nonbiodegradable plastic beverage containers.
(E) Technological problems with recycling currently prevent the reuse as food or beverage containers of the
plastic from either type of plastic beverage container.
答案是B, 但是不理解对于A选项的解释，个人认为A选项是无关项，但是不理解GMAC为什么说“To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less ”
OG解释： A Nonbiodegradable plastic containers can be crushed completely fl at. To say that biodegradable ones can be completely crushed also is perfectly compatible with saying that they contain less plastic.作者: shlshingse 时间: 2011-12-25 06:57
