Q23:

In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut （n.椰子）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?

Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5

1. percent last year.排除另一种可能，支持


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


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


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


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

答案是A

这题我花了三分钟 请问A为何支持呢

是不是排除了一种可能性 即小吃销售的增长 导致爆米花的增长

谢谢

同意ROBERTCHU。A实际上是用比较的方式说明用canola oil爆爆米花能使popcorn的销量增加。因为自从用canola oil爆爆米花后，popcorn的销量增加比其它点心销量增加快。也可以说是用比较的方式排除其它原因使popcorn的销量增加，增加就是用canola oil的原因使popcorn的销量增加的可能性

谢谢robert/ lawyer

我的理解是

排除了一种可能性 即小吃销售的增长 导致爆米花的增长

对不对

谢谢

谢谢lawyer 我想我理解对了

谢谢

在GWD的逻辑中 发现了多个层次的论证 经常是X支持Y  Z反对X  X又辩护 等等

就如这题

我感觉读完题目没法判断要求的是什么

请问大家在做题中有没有这样的问题 是如何解决的

谢谢
