Environmental organizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn Wilderness Area from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that land from the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived; if the farmers did sell their land , they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developers would outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will never actually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. But farming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most of the farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that is exactly why a more sensible preservation srategy would be to assist the farmers to modernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.

A. The first presents a goal that the argument rejects as ill-conceived; the second is evidence that is presented as grounds for that rejection.

D. the first presents a goal, stragegies for achieving which are being evaluated in the argument; the second is a judgment providing a basis for the argument's advocacy of a particular strategy.

答案是D, 我觉得A 没什么不好啊. 第二句话怎么是judgment 而不是 evidence了? 另外perservation 目的就是maintain viability吗?

另外还有点问题, 这道题前后的stragety 有shift. 前面说的是Environmental organizations preserve the land from residential development.

后面的是preservation srategy

太搞了点.
