[問題]大全III-12

Record companies defend their substitution of laser-read compact discs (CD’s) for the much less expensive traditional long-playing vinyl records in their catalogs by claiming that the audio market is ruled by consumer demand for ever-improved sound reproduction rather than by record manufacturers’ profit-motivated marketing decisions. But this claim cannot be true, because if it were true, then digital audiotape, which produces even better sound than CD’s, would be commercially available from these same record companies, but it is not.
大全-Ⅲ-12. Which of the following, if true, best explains how the record companies’ claim about the nature of the audio reproduction market could be true and digital audiotape nevertheless be unavailable for the commercial market?
(A) Most consumers prefer audiotape to long-playing records or CD’s because of the tape’s durability and compactness.
(B) Prototypes of digital audiotape have been used to make master tapes of some performances in recording studios.
(C) The manufacturing technology that underlies the commercial production of CD’s requires equipment very similar to that needed for commercial production of digital audiotape.
(D) Record companies have not yet solved several quality-control problems that have beset attempts to produce digital audiotape in commercial quantities.
(E) CD’s are more expensive than long-playing vinyl records by about the same ratio as digital audiotape cassettes would be more expensive than conventional cassettes.

The answer is D but I choes A...

I really dont understand what's going on in this question....Could someone help me explain this one? Thanks!!

這題有點繞 我當初在做的時候也是BD在抉擇

後來我回歸 主題句
any inadequate weather forecast would obviously be blamed on imperfections in the model.
原題的邏輯在於 imperfection in the model causes inadequate forecast
所以重點還是要從準確度來駁回原作者

D 並未有任何因果關係產生,80%的數據也沒說明準或不準,說不定兩千年前中國老祖宗的農曆24節氣 已經達到80%的準確度

B 說明model有進步 準確率就會提升,代表 perfection cause accuracy
也許weaken的力道不強 但也證明model的改善非一無事處

sorry 我po錯地方
應該是PO在"3"-12
不過該文章被鎖定

主題環繞著quality(better sound/quality/performance等同意詞均是)，不相關者刪：ACE刪

B：提到qulity了，但是沒有提供題目所需的explaination
D：進行商業化的過程中，品質上仍有問題無法解決，是故沒法上市→提供了explaination，very good!

Which of the following, if true, best explains how the record companies’ claim about the nature of the audio reproduction market could be true and digital audiotape nevertheless be unavailable for the commercial market? 請問有人可以翻譯這話嗎? 尤其是後面這句"and digital audiotape nevertheless be unavailable for the commercial market"

@ @ 搞不清楚中~~

以下哪一個選項最能解釋為何唱片公司對音樂市場屬性的聲明以及"數位音樂帶仍然不在市面上銷售"的原因?
唱片公司的聲明:消費者需求為不斷進步的原音重現技術所主導,而不是唱片製造商以利潤著眼的市場策略. 如果是這樣,那同一家唱片公司早應該上市比 CD能產生(重現)聲音(效果)更好的數位音樂帶,但事實並非如此.

解題朝"另有它因--題目沒講但導致相同結果"的方向:
(A) 消費者喜歡數位音樂帶勝過 CD =>符合唱片公司的聲明
(B) 原聲帶錄音公司拿去用來製作數位音樂帶的母帶=>意思製作數位音樂帶在進行中,符合唱片公司的聲明
(C) 製作數位音樂帶的器材類似製作 CD =>意思製作數位音樂帶可行囉,符合唱片公司的聲明
(D) 製作的品管問題使得數位音樂帶無法商業化 => 原來如此!
(E) CD比唱盤貴,數位音樂帶也比傳統錄音帶貴大約相同的比例=>對唱片公司的聲明沒有影響.
