Donations of imported food will be distributed to children in famine-stricken countries in the form of free school meals. The process is efficient because the children are easy to reach at the schools and cooking facilities are often available on site.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the efficiency of the proposed process?
选项
A、The emphasis on food will detract from the major function of the schools, which is to educate the children.
B、A massive influx of donated food will tend to lower the price of food in the areas near the schools.
C、Supplies of fuel needed for cooking at the schools arrive there only intermittently and in inadequate quantities.
D、The reduction in farm surpluses in donor countries benefits the donor countries to a greater extent than the recipient countries are benefited by the donations.
E、The donation of food tends to strengthen the standing of the political party that happens to be in power when the donation is made.
答案
C
解析
Evaluation of a Plan
Situation On grounds of efficiency, it has been proposed that food donated to famine-stricken countries be distributed free to children through the schools. Many of the country’s children attend school. Many schools have cooking facilities. Distributing the food through the schools is thus an efficient way of providing nutrition, at least to the children.
Reasoning What would most cast doubt on the efficiency of the proposed distribution method? The rationale offered for the method is twofold. First, many of the country’s children attend school. Secondly, many schools have cooking facilities. Any additional information that weakens the significance of either of these two parts of the rationale would cast doubt on the efficiency of the proposed distribution process.
A This information does not cast significant doubt on the rationale. Of course, providing nutrition might take some time that could otherwise be devoted to teaching and would in that sense perhaps "detract" from the schools’main mission. However, the focus of the given information is on the efficiency of food distribution through the schools, presumably as compared with other methods of distribution that would provide children with adequate nutrition. The trade-off involving some loss of teaching time may be rendered less significant by the fact that children lacking adequate nutrition cannot learn well.
B This effect, if it occurred, could damage local markets but could also in the short term make locally grown food more available to those who need it. However, the point at issue is whether the rationale for distributing donated food through the schools to improve children’s nutrition sufficiently indicates that this distribution method is efficient for that purpose.
C Correct. This information indicates that one part of the rationale given for the efficiency of the distribution method should carry less weight. If the "cooking facilities" at the schools are often inoperable due to lack of fuel, then some of the food to be distributed (for example, staples such as corn, millet, rice, or sorghum) may not be consumable. D This information fails to address the central issue, which is the relative efficiency of the proposed distribution method for donated food, to improve children’s nutrition.
E This addresses a possible effect of any food donation and fails to focus on the central issue identified in the foregoing discussion.
The correct answer is C.
