sorry...今天不知怎麼了　怎麼問題特多
還請大家幫忙　謝謝

113.. Although a consumer magazine rated several brands of household appliances higher than Belden appliances, more families have Belden appliances in their homes than any other brand. Clearly, more families choose to purchase Belden appliances. So despite the rating by the consumer magazine, Belden appliances are preferred by more families than any other brand.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the conclusion about families' preferences depends?
(A) Few families are aware of the rating of Belden appliances by the consumer magazine.
(B) More Belden appliances are chosen by families than by single people.
(C) Few families are loyal to a particular brand of appliance other than Belden.
(D) The families under consideration did not move into homes that were already furnished with appliances.
(E) The rating of appliances by the consumer magazine did not change any consumer's choice of appliance brand.

ASN: D but I choose E.
conclusion is So despite the rating by the consumer magazine, Belden appliances are preferred by more families than any other brand. Thus, by 反駁的反駁
E: The rating of appliances by the consumer magazine did change any consumer's choice of appliance brand.--->weaken the conclusion...So, I think it a perfect choise.

For D. 看不太懂句子結構耶　The families under consideration 是啥意思?
if, delete not, then "The families under consideration did move into homes that were already furnished with appliances.猜是沒考慮到搬進去前就已經裝徨好的旁房子　所以也有反駁到Belden appliances are preferred by more families than any other brand.

問題是:
結論到底是卓重在"沒被rating影響"　還是"Belden appliances are preferred "　??

若前者　看起來要選D
若後者　看起來要選ｅ


thanks..:)

(E) 的用意相當於輔助資訊, i.e. a fact ; any 武斷字眼
景象是 rating 擺出來, consumer's choice (買的電器品牌)也已擺在眼前...

(D) 取非: The families under consideration move into homes... furnished with appliances. (i.e. 考慮中,還沒買電器的家庭也算進去)
=> NOT more families have Belden appliances.
=> Belden appliances are NOT preferred.

今天再看一次　發現果然應該是ｄ...
儘管rating怎樣那句　不應該是要被反勃的結論
Thanks.
