问题 It is repeatedly claimed that the dumping of nuclear waste poses no threat to people living nearby. If this claim could be made with certainty, there would be no reason for not locating sites in areas of dense population. But the policy of dumping nuclear waste only in the more sparsely populated regions indicates, at the very least, some misgiving about safety on the part of those responsible for policy. Which one of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the argument?
选项 A、Evacuation plans in the event of an accident could not be guaranteed to work perfectly except where the population is small.
B、In the event of an accident, it is certain that fewer people would be harmed in a sparsely populated than in a densely populated area.
C、Dumping of nuclear waste poses fewer economic and bureaucratic problems in sparsely populated than in densely populated areas.
D、There are dangers associated with chemical waste, and it, too, is dumped away from areas of dense population.
E、Until there is no shred of doubt that nuclear dumps are safe, it makes sense to situate them where they pose the least threat to the public.
答案C
解析 选项(C)通过找他因的办法，排除了把核废物倒在人口稀少的地区的方针是出于安全上考虑的可能，从而严重地削弱了本题的论述，因此(C)正确。(A)、(B)和(E)三选项都对本题题干中的论证构成了支持，(D)为无关选项。
