Q38

in January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theater 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 5percent 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 that 5 percent last year.

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

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

The answer is A 请问此题何解????

文中最后一句M的POPCORN销售今年比去年多出5%.根据A,总的零食销售今年比去年只增加了5%不到,那么说明M的理由不充分.

首先, the claim是 saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales.要反对这句话,才能符合题目意思.

题目中提出一个原因:

That claim is false, however, since according to moviemania’s own sales figures, moviemania sold 5percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.

a答案提供了一个支持,提出是其他的refreshment销量减少了.

这说明moviemania的观点the change has hurt popcorn sales是不对的.

不明白这里面的推理关系。再问！

原文讲电影院去年爆米花的销量比前年长了5%，以此反驳电影院的论证---planning to switch back, because the change has hurt popcorn sales.

选项A说去年电影院总的食品销售量增加了不到5%，以此衬托出“去年爆米花的销量比前年长了5%“已经是大大的增长-----加强原文论据。

同意。只不过此题的推理思维有点怪。

C支持了moviemania的结论即应该用coconut oil，而不是反对。

恍然大悟，原来问了一个这么傻的问题，绕来绕去绕糊涂了

谢谢lismiles！！
