四道题带你了解GMAT逻辑题目的一词多义

Finland imposes a high tariff on the export of unprocessedhazel nuts in order to ensure that the nuts are sold to domestic processingplants.If the tariff were lifted and unprocessed hazel were sold at worldmarket prices,more farmers could profit by growing hazels.Nevertheless,sinceall the processing plants are in urban areas,removing the tariff wouldseriously hamper the government's effort to reduce urban unemployment over thenext ten years.

Which of the following,if true,most seriously weakens theargument?

A.Some of the by-products of processing hazels are used for manufacturingplants and plastics.

B.Other countries in which hazels are processed subsidize their processingplants.

C.More people in Finland are engaged in farming hazels than in processingthem.

D.Buying unprocessed hazels at lower than world market prices enables hazelprocessors in Finland to sell processed nuts at competitive prices.

E.A lack of profitable crops in driving an increasing number of small farmersin Finland off their land and into the cities.

正确选项：E

解析：

这道题目是削弱题。

文章认为关税移除掉之后，榛子都出口了，那么本国的加工厂没有了原料，因此没有活干，所以城市失业率上涨，因此削弱的选项方向就是关税移除掉之后，城市失业率其实不一定会上涨。

接下来看一下选项：

A.加工榛子的一些副产品被工厂和整形手术所利用。

这个选项可以认为无关，或者加工榛子的工厂都没活干了，那么没有了副产品，工厂和整形手术缺乏原料，可能也会没活干，因此会导致失业率进一步上涨，有点加强，排除。

B.其他加工榛子的国家会补贴它们的加工工厂。

其他国家是否补贴加工工厂和Finland城市失业率是否会上涨无关，排除。

C.Finland有更多的人是种榛子的，而不是加工榛子的。
