Q8:

A選項說環保最嚴的州的也是在教育和培訓投資最多
即，不能把環保單獨出來看
即，該事實不能看出環保促進經濟

[dibert8]

這題的邏輯不太懂:投資不是促進經濟成長嗎? 是答案長相的關係 (i.e 語氣)所以選 (A) 嗎?
弱化 environmental regulations promote growth; 覺得 (C) 比較有弱化的味道

[chris8888]

不是很能認同A

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

This fact does not show that environmental regulations promote growth, however, since ______.

根據舉例: 經濟最發達的州,環保也越嚴o 然而此事實並不能反映環保規定促進經濟.除非另有原因,since後面接原因

A選項推測可能原因

為甚麼E不行??

即使是那些實施非常鬆散環保管制的州, 經濟也有一定的成長

不是剛好排除了 環保管制促進經濟發展 這個可能嗎??

是at least some growth 這句話語氣不夠強烈嗎??

A選項感覺 out of scope@@

[Huang Hsin-Yi]

我的看法是:本題討論 最高成長率的原因
至於(E)至少有一些經濟成長的州,只解釋了大家可能都成長,並無對上述議題作討論

This hypothesis is undermined by the fact that the states with the strictest environmental regulations also have the highest economic growth
