[josephcfan]

Leaders of a miners' union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union's contract proposal. The union leaders are considering as their principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco.


The answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders' consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?

(A)Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporeted?
(B)Con current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C)Have other miners' unions won contrasts similar to the one proposed
by this union?
(D)Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their
goals with it?
(E)Do other corporations that own cial companies also own gas stations?

關於此題, 小弟實在讀不出文章中的關係以及問題部分到底是要問啥,煩請各位高手上來指點一下,感激不盡了！

原文說了一件事實：工會罷工所採取的計劃

題目問你下面那個選項與該工會杯葛方案有否有機會成功最沒有直接關連？

即五個選項，那一個選項的答案無法回答杯葛行為有沒有機會成功！

FYI

母公司Energy Incorporated
子公司Gasco 及 Coalco
想像一下子己是Coalco的員工要去抗爭，應該就了解題目的意思及關係了∼

The answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders' consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?

為什麼這一行是說：和杯葛方案最沒直接關係？
Least Directly relevant 不是要選至少有直接相關的答案嗎？

[littleducky]

least代表最不重要.最小的意思
所以least directly relevant就是指選出最沒有直接關聯的選項

題目:
97.Leaders of a miners’ union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union’s contract proposal. The union leaders are considering as their principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco.
Answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders’ consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?

(A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated?
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C) Have other miners’ unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?


Answer : (E)

(E) 這個對象的意義跟E.I.是一樣的,所以考慮它等於考慮E.I.會不會因杯葛而讓步; i.e. redundancy.

看不太懂OG裡對於B選項的解釋

Choice B is relevant to whether consumers can respond to the call for a boycott.

請大大解惑B選項為何有相關??

[阿琪]

僅回答為何b錯~

<情境>

想要大家一起boycott 中油　
situation 1 :＊中油是該地區唯一的gas station
situation 2 :＊中油是許多石油供應的其中一家　（而且其它家還easily obtain ）

試問兩種boycott的成功率高？

應該是situation2　boycott的成功率高，因為大家還可以easily obtain 其它石油。
如果是situation1，大家拒用後就等於是該地區很難obtain石油了…如此可能會有其它人忍不住而boycott失敗

(e)是個明確的無關選項~

附註：
gas stations是加油站(美式英語)，非瓦斯站喔！

以上 參考

The answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly revelant to the union leaders' consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their contract proposal?
哪一項對工會的作法最不直接攸關? (意思是說 : 不能發揮抗議的效果)

EI總公司收益是否會受到影響, 有效果
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
目前Gasgo的顧客可以再到處很容易取得汽油嗎? 有效果, 若去杯葛將造成顧客抱怨, 影響該公司的形象
(C) Have other miners' unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
類似的抗議有其他公會贏得嗎? 前人經驗可循, 有幫助
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
相同的戰術成功, 當然有幫助
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?
有其他公司擁有煤礦公司同時有擁有加油站嗎? 無關選項 擁有兩種類型的公司不能幫助工會領袖去決定戰術的成功有效性.
