97. Delta Products Inc. has recently switched at least partly from older technologies using fossil fuels to
new technologies powered by electricity. The question has been raised whether it can be concluded that for a given level of output Delta’s operation now causes less fossil fuel to be consumed than it did
formerly. The answer, clearly, is yes, since the amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to
power the new technologies is less than the amount needed to power the older technologies, provided level of
output is held constant.
In the argument given, the two boldfaced portions play which of the following roles?
(A) The first identifi es the content of the conclusion of the argument; the second provides support for that
conclusion.
(B) The first provides support for the conclusion of the argument; the second identifi es the content of that
conclusion.
(C) The first states the conclusion of the argument; the second calls that conclusion into question.
(D) The first provides support for the conclusion of the argument; the second calls that conclusion into
question.
(E) Each provides support for the conclusion of the argument.

第二个黑体就是结论。看后面说clearly yes就能判断。所以BF2 calls for the argument。

想请问下OG说 第二个boldface只是question的一部分··说boldface包含了question部分·即蓝色区域,那么D项··calls that conclusion into question就是正确的··
