Editorial: The roof of Northtown’s municipal equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week’s heavy snowfall. The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building’s columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose. Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant departure from safety standards can have severe consequences.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the editorial’s argument?

The only other buildings to suffer roof collapses from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the codes. The amount of snow that accumulated on the roof of the equipmentstorage building was greater than the predicted maximum that was used in drawing up the safety codes. Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation, some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it. The municipality of Northtown itself has the responsibility for ensuring that buildings constructed within its boundaries meet the provisions of the building-safety codes. Because the equipment-storage building was used for storing snowremoval equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed.

题干翻译
一座设备存储建筑在大雪后倒塌。该建筑最近建造，在各方面都符合当地建筑安全规范，除了用于将屋顶支撑物连接到建筑立柱的钉子尺寸比规范规定的小。显然，这次倒塌例证了即使是一个看似微不足道的偏离安全标准的行为也会产生严重后果。 逻辑链
Nail size deviation → Building collapse 问题类型
削弱题 推理过程
论点是单个看似微不足道的偏离安全标准会导致严重后果，论据是建筑因钉子尺寸不达标且大雪后倒塌。要削弱，需找出其他导致建筑倒塌的原因，而非钉子尺寸问题。 选项分析
A选项：其他因积雪倒塌的是更旧、标准更低的建筑。与该建筑倒塌原因无关，无法削弱，排除。 B选项：建筑屋顶积雪量超过安全规范制定时预测的最大值。说明可能是积雪量过大导致倒塌，而非钉子尺寸问题，削弱了论点，当选。 C选项：该建筑非供人居住，一些适用于办公楼的安全规范不适用于它。没有涉及倒塌原因，无法削弱，排除。 D选项：确保建筑符合规范是北镇市政府的责任。与建筑倒塌原因无直接关系，无法削弱，排除。 E选项：建筑倒塌时几乎空着。与建筑为何倒塌没有关联，无法削弱，排除。
