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。

原文说为了cut the cost，决定要去关掉G，然而由于G的关闭会引起很多社会问题。

原文就得出结论，G继续开，是考虑到社会问题

E-关掉后，要清理遗留物的cost非常高，所以继续开，说明G继续开还是考虑到成本而不是社会问题

A-profit的多少，与原文的cost cut无关，原文并没有说 G是不赚钱的，只是说成本太高了，基于降成本的考虑,刚开始决定关掉G

B-排除他因，consolidate不行，仍继续开，说明是考虑社会问题；

C-排除他因，没有T方便，仍继续开，说明是考虑社会问题

D-无关，问的是G的情况，与T没啥关系啊．
