| 天山－4－38 一直想不明白。
In one state, all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinances. A petition entitled “Petition for Statewide Smoking Restriction” is being circulated to voters by campaign workers who ask only, “Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction?” The petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public.
Which of the following circumstances would make the petition as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide?
A. Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers.
B. In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishments and government offices that are open to the public.
C. The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does.
D. There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking.
E. The state law would not affect existing local ordinances banning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard.
circulated misleading 这个用在此处是什么意思？
我开始选择C,
但答案给出的是E? 我认为其中的fire authorities 根本是无关选项。
现在我觉得B也正确。因为原题中最后一句正好提到了in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public. 跟答案B中In rural areas of the state 对应，也就是在这些地方因为没有那么多office，必然导致misleading.
请牛牛帮忙，哪个是正确答案。
