题目题材：城市建筑
gre argument 77题目：
The cities of East Sacunda and West Sacunda are in an earthquake-prone area. Since 1985 both cities have had stringent building codes(1) requiring all new buildings to have specific features designed to prevent damage in an earthquake. Buildings built before 1985 are exempt from the codes, but many building owners have modified their buildings to make them conform to the 1985 codes. Last year a major earthquake(3) hit the area, and many people lost their homes. The number of people who were left homeless(5) was much higher(2) in East Sacunda than in West Sacunda(4), however, so we can conclude that building owners in East Sacunda were less likely to modify their buildings so as to bring them up to the 1985 code standards(6).
提纲：
(1)The level of stringency of the codes in the two cities might be different.
(2)The author fails to provide the total amount of residents in the two cities respectively.
(3)The author fails to provide information regarding the severity of earthquake at the two cities.
(4)We need to know what fraction of buildings destroyed in East Sacunda were built before 1985 and were not modified to the 1985 codes.
(5)The number of homeless people is not a good indication of the number of buildings destroyed.
(6)Other factors could also explain the differences between the situations of the two cities.
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。
