111. Advocates of a large-scale space-defense research project conclude that it will represent a net benefit to civilian business. They say that since government-sponsored research will have civilian applications, civilian businesses will reap the rewards of government-developed technology.

Each of the following, if true, raises a consideration arguing against the conclusion above, EXCEPT:

(A) The development of cost-efficient manufacturing techniques is of the
highest priority for civilian business and would be neglected for
civilian business and would be neglected if resources go to military
projects, which do not emphasize cost efficiency.
(B) Scientific and engineering talent needed by civilian business will be
absorbed by the large-scale project.
(C) Many civilian businesses will receive subcontracts to provide materials
and products needed by the research project.
(D) If government research money is devoted to the space project, it will
not be available for specifically targeted needs of civilian business,
where it could be more efficiently used.
(E) The increase in taxes or government debt needed to finance the
project will severely reduce the vitality of the civilian economy.

答案是(C)

想要請問(A)想要表達的意思到底為何 為什麼(A)不能against the conclusion above 呢?

謝謝大家

本題是問against...EXCEPT
所以(A)(B)(D)(E)都是against / weaken " civilian businesses will reap the rewards of government-developed technology"
只有(C) support 。

(A)的意思是:
對於民間企業來說，發展cost-efficient的製造方法是最高的優先性，但可能會被忽略，因為資源投入了軍事計畫，而軍事計畫通常是不強調cost-efficient的。
==> 因此，weaken了民間企業會reap the rewards，反倒是資源被排擠到沒有效率的地方。
