19. Industrialists from the country Distopia were
accused of promoting the Distopian intervention in
the Arcadian civil war merely to insure that the
industrialists' facilities in Arcadia made substantial
profits during the war. Yet this cannot be the motive
since, as the Distopians foresaw, Distopia's federal
expenses for the intervention were eight billion
dollars, whereas, during the war, profits from the
Distopian industrialists' facilities in Arcadia totaled
only four billion dollars.
Which of the following, if true, exposes a serious
flaw in the argument made in the second sentence
above?
(A) During the Arcadian war, many Distopian
industrialists with facilities located in Arcadia
experienced a significant rise in productivity
in their facilities located in Distopia
(B) The largest proportion of Distopia's federal
expenses is borne by those who receive no
significant industrial profits.
(C) Most Distopian industrialists' facilities located
in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level
of profits they achieved during the war.
(D) Distopian industrialists' facilities in Arcadia
made substantial profits before the events
that triggered the civil war.
(E) Many Distopians expressed concern over the
suffering that Arcadians underwent during the civil war.
THE ANSWER IS B.
A,D,E, IS DEFINITELY WRONG.
BUT I THINK C IS TRICKY.
SINCE C SAYS,
Most Distopian industrialists' facilities located in Arcadia are expected to maintain the level of profits they achieved during the war.
THAT MEANS 利益的获得不仅在DURING THE WAR, 还在 MAINTAIN AFTER WAR.
SO C IS A GOOD WEAKEN.
CAN ANY NN TEL ME WHY CHOOSE B, NOT C?
AND B 中 "those who receive no significant industrial profits" 是哪一拨人？非实业者？还是经营不善获利甚少的实业者？
