gre argument 228题目：
The following appeared in a newsletter from a political organization.
"In order to promote economic growth(4) in the city, city residents should vote 'yes' on the state government's proposal to build a new expressway linking the outlying suburbs directly to the city center(7). A direct link to the city center will enable downtown businesses to receive deliveries more frequently, so that downtown retailers will no longer run out of stock and city manufacturers will not be affected by shortages of materials(1,2,3). Booming businesses will attract qualified workers(5) from all over the state, workers who will be able to take advantage of the new expressway(6) to commute to work in our city. In additio(18,55,103,119)these advantages, hundreds of workers will be employed to build the expressway, further stimulating the local economy!"
提纲：
(1)The author fails to illustrate that the stock and material problems, if any, are due to the absence of an expressway.
(2)The author fails to inform us to what extent downtown retailers and city manufacturers depend on the supply from the outlying suburbs.
(3)The author fails to illustrate that the suburban areas linked by the expressway are regions from where the downtown retailers’ stock and city manufacturer’s materials come from.
(4)Merely building an expressway would not sufficiently ensure economic growth.
(5)The author unfairly assumes that qualified workers will be willing to and able to work in the city.
(6)The author fails to consider how many such workers from the state could take advantage of the new expressway.
(7)The author fails to consider the cost and negative impacts of building the expressway and if the city could afford the cost, nor does the author illustrate that the expressway is indeed necessary.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
