Manufacturers sometimes discount the price of a product to retailers for a promotion period when the product is advertised to consumers.  Such promotions often result in a dramatic increase in amount of product sold by the manufacturers to retailers.  Nevertheless, the manufacturers could often make more profit by not holding the promotions.

 

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim above about the manufacturers' profit?

 

(A) The amount of discount generally offered by manufacturers to retailers is carefully calculated to represent the minimum needed to draw consumers' attention to the product.

(B) For many consumer products the period of advertising discounted prices to consumers is about a week, not sufficiently long for consumers to become used to the sale price.

(C) For products that are not newly introduced, the purpose of such promotions is to keep the products in the minds of consumers and to attract consumers who are currently using competing products.

(D) During such a promotion retailers tend to accumulate in their warehouses inventory bought at discount; they then sell much of it later at their regular price.

(E) If a manufacturer fails to offer such promotions but its competitor offers them, that competitor will tend to attract consumers away from the manufacturer's product.

制造商 和零售商应该不是一个啊   为什么零售商囤货 会和制造商不促销则利润增加有关呢

Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.

 

Which of the following, if true, provides most support for the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales of telephones by adopting the plan outlined above?

 

(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries' share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year.

(B) Mammoth Industries' average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year.

(C) Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries' telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth Industries owns this brand.

(D) Mammoth Industries' telephone is one of three brands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the last year's increase in sales.

(E) Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries' telephones have fallen in the last year.

原文第二句话，说MI想通过继续增加已经很广泛的广告来利用市场优势。而E并没有提到广告啊，只有C提高了广告，而且有支持问题的作用。个人认为选C

Adult female rats who have never before encountered rat pups will start to show maternal behaviors after being confined with a pup for about seven days.  This period can be considerably shortened by disabling the female's sense of smell or by removing the scent-producing glands of the pup.

 

Which of the following hypotheses best explains the contrast described above?

 

(A) The sense of smell in adult female rats is more acute than that in rat pups.

(B) The amount of scent produced by rat pups increases when they are in the presence of a female rat that did not bear them.

(C) Female rats that have given birth are more affected by olfactory cues than are female rats that have never given birth.

(D) A female rat that has given birth shows maternal behavior toward rat pups that she did not bear more quickly than does a female rat that has never given birth.

(E) The development of a female rat's maternal interest in a rat pup that she did not bear is inhibited by the odor of the pup.

制造商促销是为了广告吸引顾客，如果零售商中间插一刀，等于把制造商的让利广告转化为了自己的低成本进货。制造商没有吸引客户，反而让自己的出厂价低了，双重被盘剥。所以如果不促销，他们就把出厂家保持正常水平，最起码减少了一定损失，所以profit就大了，所以选Ｄ

这个可是ＯＧ原题，建议好好看ＯＧ了　ＯＧ都没吃透　看Ｐｒｅｐ作用不大了

你找ＫＷ的思路是对的，但是定位错了，问题也很关键，　问题问得是Ｍ销售上不去，通过扩大生产和加大广告，

题目的ｆｌａｗ是行业涨了，Ｍ想分杯羹，但是如果Ｍ自己的销售去年跌了，那么他继续他的老广告老产品只能继续跌了

真的建议你通读ＯＧ２遍了，没生孩子的母老鼠表现出母性，　但是如果把小老鼠的气味腺体割掉，母老鼠就不怎么表现母性了。　说明气味是绝对因素，所以Ｅ

(A) The sense of smell in adult female rats is more acute than that in rat pups.不能explain。
(B) The amount of scent produced by rat pups increases when they are in the presence of a female rat that did not bear them. 这个选项的落点是在说scent increase，而这种气味增加与否→也就是这种气味的数量的多少无关。
(C) Female rats that have given birth are more affected by olfactory cues than are female rats that have never given birth.没有涉及比较，不能解释。
(D) A female rat that has given birth shows maternal behavior toward rat pups that she did not bear more quickly than does a female rat that has never given birth.没有涉及比较，不能解释。
(E) The development of a female rat's maternal interest in a rat pup that she did not bear is inhibited by the odor of the pup.可以解释，母老鼠对未亲自养育的幼鼠的母性的发展是被幼鼠的气味所抑制的。这样，幼鼠气味被抑制，母老鼠就不能闻到了/母老鼠自己本身的嗅觉器官就出了问题，更加不能闻到了。
