(单选题)
It can be inferred from the text that the retail price of petrol will go up dramatically if ______.
A.price of crude rises
B.commodity prices rise
C.consumption rises
D.oil taxes rise
参考答案:D
参考解析:
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past”可知,在欧洲,税占汽油的零售价的五分之四,因此相比以往,原油的价格变化对汽油的影响不会很明显。换句话说,也就是税的增加会导致汽油价格的猛涨,而原油价格的变化带来的影响不会很大。故选D。
