C-4.Mainline Airways was bought by its employees six years ago. Three years ago, Mainline hired QualiCo Advertising Agency to handle its promotions and advertising division. Today Mainline’s profits are over 20 percent higher than they were five years ago and 10 percent higher than they were three years ago. Employee ownership and a good advertising agency have combined to make Mainline more profitable.

Which of the following best describes the weak point in the argument above?

(A) It fails to establish a causal connection between the change in ownership at Mainline Airways and the hiring of QualiCo, on the one hand, and the rise in Mainline’s profits, on the other.
(B) It presents no evidence showing that employee-owned airlines are any more profitable than other airlines.
(C) It assumes that the profits of Mainline Airways will continue to rise.
(D) It gives no exact figures for the current profits of Mainline Airways.
(E) It fails to explain how the profits of Mainline Airways are calculated.

Ans:A

文章的最後一段不是已說是Employee ownership and a good advertising agency 造成profit提高嗎? 為何A說它沒有把這關係做因果關聯呢?

他就是要問上面那個推論哪邊出錯
最後一句就是錯誤所在呀 :)
就是沒有把因果關係推清楚 (i.e. 只是時間點上巧合)
