The excessive number of safety regulation that the federal government has placed on industry poses more serious hardships for big businesses than for small ones. Since large companies do everything on a more massive scale, they must alter more complex operations and spend much more money to meet governmental requirements.
Which of the following , if true, would most weaken the argument above?
(A) Small companies are less likely than large companies to have the capital reserves for improvements.
(B) The operation codes are uniform, established without reference to size of company.
(C) Safety regulation codes are uniform, established without reference to size of company.
(D) Large companies typically have more of their profits invested in other businesses than do small companies.
(E) Large companies are in general more likely than small companies to diversify the markets and products.
答案是A
可是我不懂
如果论点是第一句话，政府的安全规章致使大公司比小公司运行艰难。论据是“大公司大规模，必须改良复杂的操作，花更多钱去meet government requirements"
那选A不是解释了为什么小公司为什么不用花钱去meet government requirements么~也没有weaken论点阿~
为什么不选C？？安全规则都是一样的，不分公司规模大小~ |
