gre argument 157题目：
The following is a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"As a local merchant, I wish to support the development of a ski resort in the state park north of our township(2). Along with many other merchants who favor the proposal by Ski the Slopes(5), Incorporated, I would, of course, experience a growth in my business(1). But I also know how much more prosperous, not to mention lively and interesting, our community would be if tourism increased. Since the main opposition comes from a few environmentalists* who do not even live in this community, I see no reason to give in to their views(3). The First National Bank has finally researched the project and agreed to fund it(4). As a result, I see no reason to delay development of the resort."
*Environmentalists are people who advocate the preservation of the natural environment.
提纲：
(1)The author unfairly assumes that the development of the ski resort will necessarily result in a growth in business and tourism.
(2)The author fails to consider the negative effects of developing the resort in our town.
(3)The author fails to provide substantial evidence to illustrate why we should ignore the environmentalists’ opposition.
(4)We do not know how much fund the First National Bank will provide and if it is enough for developing the resort.
(5)Granted that a ski resort is necessary to be built, the author still fails to illustrate that the proposal by Ski the Slopes is the best project and if there is any better choice. Thus we should not hastily commence development of the resort.
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。
