  • Suriland cannot both export wheat and keep bread plentiful and affordable in Suriland. Accordingly, Suriland's wheat farmers are required to sell their crop to the government, which pays them a dollar per bushel less than the price on the world market. Therefore, if the farmers could sell their wheat on the world market, they would make a dollar per bushel more, less any additional transportation and brokerage costs they would have to pay.


    Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

    A:Suriland's wheat farmers have higher production costs than do farmers in many other wheat-producing countries.
    B:Sale of a substantial proportion of Suriland's wheat crop on the world market would probably depress the price of wheat
    C:The transportation and brokerage costs that Suriland's farmers would face if they sold their wheat outside Suriland could amount to almost a dollar per bushel.
    D:Suriland is surrounded by countries that do not import any wheat.
    E:The price of a bushel of wheat on the world market occasionally drops below the average cost of producing a bushel of wheat in Suriland.

    正确答案: B:Sale of a substantial proportion of Suriland's wheat crop on the world market would probably depress the price of wheat

    答案B

    题目大意:苏里兰不能同时出口小麦和保证面包在苏里兰充足和价格合理。因此,苏里兰的小麦农民必须向政府出售他们的作物,政府每蒲式耳付给他们的价格比世界市场上的价格低一美元。因此,如果农民能够在世界市场上出售他们的小麦,他们每蒲式耳就能多赚一美元,而不用支付任何额外的运输和经纪费用。

    逻辑链:问削弱,没有考虑到如果苏格兰农民能在世界市场上出售他们的小麦,世界市场的小麦供给增加,价格可能会下降,所以农民并不一定能多赚到1美元,即B选项

    选项分析:

    A. 成本问题,这里讨论的是收到的钱,能不能多收到1美元,与成本无关

    B. 正确

    C. 同A

    D. 附近的国家不进口小麦,无关

    E. 这表明,如果在世界市场上销售,苏里兰和小麦农民有时可能会在小麦上赔钱。然而,这并不意味着,它们在世界小麦市场上的损失不会低于向政府出售的损失。请注意,政府的小麦价格与世界市场挂钩,因此世界市场提供的价格和政府提供的价格将始终相差完全相同的数额:政府少付一美元。
