Wind farms, which generate electricity using arrays of thousands of wind-powered turbines, require vast expanses of open land. County X and County Y have similar terrain, but the population density of County X is significantly higher than that of County Y. Therefore, a wind farm proposed for one of the two counties should be built in County Y rather than in County X.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the planner’s argument?

A.County X and County Y are adjacent to each other, and both are located in the windiest area of the state.
B.The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X.
C.Some of the electricity generated by wind farms in County Y would be purchased by users outside the county.
D.Wind farms require more land per unit of electricity generated than does any other type of electrical-generation facility.
E.Nearly all of County X’s population is concentrated in a small part of the county, while County Y’s population is spread evenly throughout the country.

不懂題目的意思到底是什麼耶??是說發電費用跟密度的關係嗎? (e)答案好怪?人口密集對發電有利?
我選的是(b)~~

注意這一句：
Wind farms require vast expanses of open land.
人口密度較低但平均分散在各處的國家自然沒有什麼open land囉，
反而是人口密度較高但全部集中在某個地區的國家有較多的空地。

如Pufa前輩說的
人口密度和人口分佈需要兼顧，就為此題關鍵

對答案我是沒問題 我也選E
可是我覺得b很怪
如果如題所說,X & Y的地一樣大
x比y的concentration多
density = population / land area

那density 跟 land area都已經fixed
應該是X population 大於Y population
B怎麼可以說Y的population 大於X?

文章並沒有說兩國的面積一樣大，
只說County X and County Y have similar terrain(地形)

(B).The total population of County Y is substantially greater than that of County X.
選項(B)說Y國人口多，又題目說Y國人口密度小，表示該國面積大，而且人口四處散佈，正好跟(E)選項的第二句話說的一樣。
不過(E)選項又說出X國適合蓋wind farm的原因，所以比(B)選項更好

一點看法，有錯還請各位大爺指正

我覺得應該是這樣耶
b說y人多,但密度小,確實是代表該國面積大沒錯
但仍然有可能是集中分布或者是分散各地的,未必跟e第二句的說法一樣
整提的大重點是wind farm需要大空地
所以一定要知道人口分布的情形,
才能決定出是否會有大空地
e很明顯的weaken了argument

請指教
