551. Suncorp,

a new corporation with limited funds, has been clearing large sections of the

tropical Amazon forest for cattle ranching. This practice continues even though

greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which does not destroy the

forest, than from cattle ranching, which does destroy the forest.

Which

of the following, if true, most helps to explain why Suncorp has been pursuing

the less profitable of the two economic activities mentioned above?

A The soil of the Amazon forest is very rich

in nutrients that are important in the development of grazing lands.

B Cattle-ranching operations that are located

in tropical climates are more profitable than cattle-ranching operations that

are located in cold-weather climates.

C In certain districts, profits made from

cattle ranching are more heavily taxed than profits made from any other

industry.

D Some of the cattle that are raised on land

cleared in the Amazon are killed by wildcats.

E The amount of money required to begin a

rubber-tapping operation is twice as high as the amount needed to begin a

cattle ranch.

考點：二者因果 財商思維 增強

S公司，被有限資金限制，開始將其所屬的亞馬遜熱帶雨林地區清理為畜牧場。而在該地區進行橡膠生產既比畜牧業利潤更高，也不會破壞當地的森林植被（腦子有病？？？）。

題目：explain S公司選擇低利潤的畜牧業而非高利潤且環保的橡膠生產業（證明其腦子沒病）

邏輯鏈： cause： 橡膠生產既比畜牧業利潤更高，也不會破壞當地的森林植被 effect：S公司選擇低利潤的畜牧業而非高利潤且環保的橡膠生產業

A:

soil of the Amazon forest 土壤 無關

B:

tropical climates more than cold-weather climates. 跟在哪放牧無關，而且 more than 危險選項

C：畜牧比其他工業的tax重，利潤又低又不環保，現在還稅重，腦子更加有病，削弱

D.some危險選項，而且cattle要被wildcats吃掉，利潤又低又不環保，又被吃，腦子有病，削弱

E：The amount of money

required to begin a rubber-tapping operation is twice as high as the amount

needed to begin a cattle ranch. 橡膠要的錢是畜牧的兩倍，前面說了資金有限，因更因，果更果，增強
