Q38:
In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania's own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania’s claim?

A. Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year.

B. Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than it does on sales of movie tickets.

C. Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.

D. Total attendance at Moviemania’s movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.

E. The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.

我想請問這題
他的答案是a why? 我知道b c d e 不好 但是a我也說不上來哪裡不好 還請高手們幫忙

小吳 有點不懂你得意思

既然你覺得 bcde不好

那a就是相對ok的啦

為啥你在問a不好

[Jessy]

你應該是要問A好在哪邊吧...
這一題我記得有兩種版本的問法(我上次考試就碰到這一題..)
most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania’s claim
先找出Moviemania’s claim: the change has hurt popcorn sales
-->M認為換油是導致他們sales變差的原因
反駁M說法的原因:Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
但是少了一樣東西,就是"對照組"
A提出M的tickets銷售上增加不及5%-->代表popcorn銷量並沒有變差




獻醜了..

M ' 說 換油引響popcorn銷售量

題目要weaken


A. Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year

臨時部門整體的銷售數字去年是下滑的 然而 , popucorn的銷售量卻上升

wish it's uselful (FF)

請問一下A選項的 increased by less than 5 percent last year 的意思?
是上升但<5%,還是下降5%
A選項在這裡的用意是做為對照,意思是說即使全體食物的銷量都沒有增加那麼多的百分比,但popcorn的銷量卻上升比它還要多的百分比,醬相對比較下,換油其實並沒有hurt popcorn sales, 對嗎?而有可能因為popcorn的銷量增加才使得全部食物銷量增加

[Calvin]

by 後面都是接「變化幅度」

所以是增加的比例小於5%

其他零嘴銷量增加都小於5%，popcorn還能維持5%的增加，當然就反駁了原文的結論

[Calvin]

我寫的「原文結論」是錯誤的！向大家致歉，應該是M's claim

cocaine回應的部份，我看不懂，可以再說清楚些嗎？

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania’s claim?
應該是說下面哪一個支持結論中對於M's claim的反駁?

原文中M說他要換回原來的油,因為新油對他的產品銷售造成傷害.

A是說整體銷售都增加少於5%---->反駁M的說法(銷售下跌)

前面我看錯...不好意思..

[JS]

Why can't the answer be E then?

Because if the year b4 last, moviemania experienced a 10 %increase in popcorn slaes over the last and on the passage it says this year moviemania sold 5 % more popcorn than last wihich make it 15.5 % more than the year b4 last. Therefore the statement E strengthen the argument against Moviemania's claim.

[Calvin]

E is irrelevant.

M's claim didn't state any info. about the sales of 大前年

FYI

[micht]

I agree with Calvin,
the quesiton concerns whether the last year's decision on started propping its popcorn in canola is hurting its popcorn sales or not.

the popcorn sales of the year before last year is irrelevant.
