题目信息

Critics of certain pollution-control regulations have claimed that the money spent over the last decade in order to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and of volatile organic compounds has been wasted. The evidence they offer in support of this claim might appear compelling: despite the money spent, annual emissions of these pollutants have been increasing steadily. This evidence is far from adequate, however, since over the last decade a substantial number of new industrial facilities that emit these pollutants have been built.


In the reasoning given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A:The first identifies a claim that the reasoning seeks to show is false; the second is evidence that has been cited by others in support of that claim.
B:The first identifies a claim that the reasoning seeks to show is false; the second is a position for which the reasoning seeks to provide support.
C:The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is a position for which the reasoning seeks to provide support.
D:The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is evidence used to support the reasoning`s contention.
E:The first is a position that the reasoning contends is inadequately supported by the evidence; the second is evidence that has been used to support that position.

boldface 题:第一段黑体是第一种争论的结论(结论自然代表着立场);第二段黑体是第二种争论的证据。 

A选项错在说第二段是支持了第一个结论的证据。

B选项错在说第二段是立场。

C选项说的是第一段是一个立场,这个立场被推理认为是被证据错误地支持了,第二段也是一个立场,推理想要支持这个立场,第二段不是立场,错误。

D选项说的第一段和C一样,第二段是一个证据被用来支持推理的争论。

E选项说的第一段和C一样,第二段是一个证据被用来支持第一个立场,错误。 所以最后选D
