[Critical Reasoning]
试题详情
题目：
Aroca City currently funds its public schools through taxes on property. In place of this system, the city plans to introduce a sales tax of three percent on all retail sales in the city. Critics protest that three percent of current retail sales falls short of the amount raised for schools by property taxes. The critics are correct on this point. Nevertheless, implementing the plan will probably not reduce the money going to Aroca's schools. Several large retailers have selected Aroca City as the site for huge new stores, and these are certain to draw large numbers of shoppers from neighboring municipalities, where sales are taxed at rates of six percent and more. In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.
In the argument given, the two potions in boldface play which of the following roles?
选项:
A、The first is an objection that has been raised against a certain plan; the second is a prediction that, if accurate, undermines the force of that objection.
B、The first is a criticism, endorsed by the argument, of a funding plan; the second is a point the argument makes in favor of adopting an alternative plan.
C、The first is a criticism, endorsed by the argument, of a funding plan; the second is the main reason cited by the argument for its endorsement of the criticism.
D、The first is a claim that the argument seeks to refute; the second is the main point used by the argument to show that the claim is false.
E、The first is a claim that the argument accepts with certain reservations; the second presents that claim in a rewarding that is not subject to those reservations.
答案:
A

请唐老师解答，谢谢，这题我先看两句中间有nevertheless，认为方向不一致，第二句有probably不能是evidence，再读第一句觉得没有unlikely to achieve和best的意思于是排除ABC，所以选的是E。。可是正确答案D说明两句间无转折

请教张慧雯老师，这题我觉得结论句是 In consequence, retail sales in Aroca City are bound to increase substantially.黑体2，然后两个黑体之间夹着一个 Nevertheless, 应该是意思相反的，排除b和c，然后再加上 the critics are correct on this point. 所以排除d， 然后ae里面纠结，对于黑体1那部分的解释也挺晕的。

请陆旭老师解答。在A,E当中犹豫，错选E.能够明白A的答案，但是第一个boldface确实是a claim the argument accepts, 根据下一句的"the critics are correct on this point"; 第二个boldface即是一个prediction undermining the objection, 我感觉也是也是说 rewarding results,对应E.所以觉得A.E都对
