Environmentalist: The use of snowmobiles in the vast park north of Milville creates unacceptable levels of air pollution and should be banned.

Milville business spokesperson: Snowmobiling brings many out-of-towners to Milville in winter months, to the great financial benefit of many local residents. So, economics dictate that we put up with the pollution.

Environmentalist responds to the business spokesperson by doing which of the following?

A:Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome can derive from only one set of circumstances

B:Challenging an assumption that certain desirable outcome is outweighed by negative aspects associated with producing that outcome

C:Maintaining that the benefit that the spokesperson desires could be achieved in greater degree by a different means

D:Claiming that the spokesperson is deliberately misrepresenting the environmentalist`s position in order to be better able to attack it

E:Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people

正确答案： E:Denying that an effect that the spokesperson presents as having benefited a certain group of people actually benefited those people

1。A的错误在于ONLY太STRONG。“所以他们必须忍受污染”。spokesperson的话中看不出“必须”的意思。DICTATE是指HAVE CONTROLLING INFLUENCE ON。DETERMINE。并没有MUST的意思。何况one set of circumstances在原文难以找到对应。

2。spokesperson说Snowmobiling带来很多人。环境学家说污染让很多人不敢来。环境学家的目的很显然是否定Snowmobiling带来很多人。从而否定给当地居民带来经济利益。即否定这个效果。所以E是合适的
