困惑当中，希望高人指点

A new ordinance passed by the Gorento Council a year ago banned the sale of all nonrecyclable plastic packaging for food being sold in Gorenton. A substantial percentage of Gorenton's plastic waste, however, is still composed of nonrecyclable plastic food packaging.
Which of the following, if true, best contributes to reconciling the apparent discrepancy above?

A.Fewer food products are packaged in nonrecyclable plastics today than were so packaged a year ago.

B.The new ordinance affects only plastic food packaging and not other products packaged in plastic, many of which are sold in Gorenton.

C.Grocery and other stores in nearby suburban areas patronized by many Gorenton residents are unaffected by the new ordinance.

D.Many food products formerly packaged in nonrecyclable plastics are now specially packaged in recyclable plastic before being shipped so that they can be sold in Gorenton.

E.The total amount of both Gorenton's trash and its plastic waste grew considerably over the past year.

答案是C，但我不明白B错在什么地方？

B是无法解释。

原文要解释的是不能回收的食品塑料仍然占了丢弃塑料的很大比例。

B说的是这个新的法令只影响了食品塑料包装，而不影响其他的。本来原文没有说其他塑料包装还有很多呀，原文只是说了食品塑料还有很多。并且虽然只影响了食品塑料包装，那么食品塑料包装也应该就没有了呀，怎么还有呢？  不能解释

B is wrong because it won't explain why nonrecyclable plastic food packaging is unaffected. Who cares about other products packaged in plastic?

still composed of food packaging, so not the other products.
