Q21: The OLEX Petroleum Company has recently determined that it could cut its refining costs by closing its Grenville refinery and consolidating all refining at its Tasberg refinery. Closing the Grenville refinery, however, would mean the immediate loss of about 1,200 jobs in the Grenville area. Eventually the lives of more than 10,000 people would be seriously disrupted. Therefore, OLEX’s decision, announced yesterday, to keep Grenville open shows that at OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire for higher profits. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument given? A. The Grenville refinery, although it operates at a higher cost than the Tasberg refinery, has nevertheless been moderately profitable for many years. B. Even though OLEX could consolidate all its refining at the Tasberg plant, doing so at the Grenville plant would not be feasible. C. The Tasberg refinery is more favorably situated than the Grenville refinery with respect to the major supply routes for raw petroleum. D. If the Grenville refinery were ever closed and operations at the Tasberg refinery expanded, job openings at Tasberg would to the extent possible be filled with people formerly employed at Grenville. E. Closure of the Grenville refinery would mean compliance, at enormous cost, with demanding local codes regulating the cleanup of abandoned industrial sites. Answer:

请问B为什么不好?

题目有关Grenville plant 的只是是否关闭,与consolidation无关,B说doing
so(consolidation) at the Grenville plant would not be feasible 就无关了。

OLEX social concerns sometimes outweigh the desire for higher profits. 这是文章的结论

削弱只是削弱结论,和其他没有关系。

答案里一定要有这样的意思,OLEX这么做其实还是因为钱的关系。

应该是E吧,看到enormous cost就知道是答案了。

B 不能consolidate不意味着要关闭
