Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Economist: Construction moves faster in good weather than in bad, so m

HiGraceSCKao , I was happy with the response you got fromAndrewN .
I'll just add that I view this problem as asking us to 'explain the surprising phenomenon.'
Given the first sentence, one would expect that a forecast of "one mild winter or even two for such areas generally doesnot WOULD lead to overall increases in construction during these periods."
Our task is to figure out why such a forecast doesn't lead to the result that one might expect.
Does thathelp?
