GRE argument 128题目:
The following appeared in an editorial in the Garden City Gazette.
"To address the parking problems in our downtown business district, it has been proposed that the city increase parking capacity by building a four-story parking garage. However, this project would cost more(2) than it would to improve the downtown pedestrian plaza(1). Because the pedestrian plaza is an important attraction that draws people to the downtown area, improvements to it will increase business for downtown merchants(3). The merchants' higher profits(4) will ultimately produce increased tax revenues for the city. Therefore, we should invest in the plaza improvements first and then use the revenues thus generated to pay for the construction of the parking garage(5)."
提纲:
(1)The profits brought by the construction of the parking garage might be even higher than that brought by the plaza improvements.
(2)The parking garage could generate revenue through parking fees, thus the project might have little effect on the city’s budget.
(3)The author unfairly assumes that the improvements of the plaza will necessarily attract more people.
(4)People attracted by the new plaza would not necessarily make purchases here, thus higher profits could not be guaranteed.
(5)The author fails to consider the negative effects of the deferment of constructing the parking garage.
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。
