Vorland’s government is planning a nationwide ban on smoking in restaurants. The objection that the ban would reduce restaurants’ revenues is ill founded. Several towns in Vorland enacted restaurant smoking restrictions five years ago. Since then, the amount the government collects in restaurant meal taxes in those towns has increased 34 percent, on average, but only 26 percent elsewhere in Vorlan. The amount collected in restaurant meal taxes closely reflects restaurants' revenues. Which of the following, if true, most undermines the defense of the government ’s plan? A. When the state first imposed a restaurant meal tax, opponents predicted that restaurants’ revenues would decline as a result, a prediction that proved to be correct in the short term. B. The tax on meals in restaurants is higher than the tax on many other goods and services. C. Over the last five years, smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland. D. In many of the towns that restrict smoking in restaurants, restaurants can maintain separate dining areas where smoking is permitted. E. Over the last five years, government revenues from sales taxes have grown no faster in the towns with restaurant smoking restrictions than in the towns that have no such restrictions. 答案D 想请问高手，题目是问弱化政府的政策吗? undermines the defense of the government's plan? 但D我的解读是支持政府 因为只有说很多禁烟的地方餐厅经营的方式把吸菸区独立出来 没有说到跟营收有相关阿，如果可以延伸说：就算有禁菸罚则， 餐厅照样可以经营不影响营收哩， 这样解释：有禁菸不会导致收入变少←变支持政府， 就不对啦，请求协助 卡在这题很久了@@ 谢谢 --
