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.

Answer:D
我對答案沒有疑問
只是想問
(B)選項是不是有問題的部分只是第二段boldface?
第二段boldface應該是一個evidence而不是position.這樣的想法對嗎?

此外(B)的第一段boldface有問題嗎?

請教大家,謝謝

就態度而言, (B) 是 OK 的: BF1 = (-), BF2 = (+)
但是 BF 題考的是更進一步的細節: e.g. BF1 = claim/position, BF2 = evidence; inadequate =/= false
