标题: manhattan cat 一道逻辑题 可能我对选项中句子的理解有误


Because of rising costs, United Shipping Company raised its rates by ten percent last year. Many of its customers balked at the increase, however, and turned to a rival company whose rates were lower. In response, United Shipping Company began offering a package of services for a single rate that, though high, is still lower than the combined rates of the individual services. Officers of the company claim that this move will recoup the company's lost profits.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best basis for the officers' claim?
[size=12.0012px]

United Shipping will aggressively advertise the new package of services.

United Shipping's rival does not offer some of the services included in the package.

Marketing studies have shown that many of United Shipping's former customers would prefer a combined rate for their various shipping services.
这里的a combined rate 和题干里的combined rates 是一回事吗? 如果是,我的疑惑是为什么United Shipping's former customers would prefer a combined rate for their various shipping services,还能使公司的profit提高?

United Shipping does not already offer all the services separately.

No other shipping company offers the same package of services as United Shipping.                                                                                                                                                                                                               


3)Marketing studies have shown that many of United Shipping's former customers would prefer a combined rate for their various shipping services.
Correct : United shipping's customers turned to its rival because it did not provide what the customers wanted. Now United Shipping is providing what the customers want (combined rate for their various shipping services). This would recoup the company's lost profits. (这是我在beatthegmat.com上看到的  感觉还是没理解,我觉得肯定是我把C选项的意思理解错了,有哪位能帮我解释一下吗,提前多谢!!!)

这里的former 指的是离开了shipping 公司去了另一家的这些customers. 市场调查显示这些客户喜欢combined rate, 所以用这个办法的话,那些失去的客户就会回来。

个人理解,楼主轻拍啊

你好!谢谢你的回复。    但我还是有点不理解为什么offering a package of services for a single rate   而这些客户喜欢combined rate, 顾客还是会回来?

我个人的理解是: 题干告诉我们single rate 比 combined rates 更加便宜。既然顾客在调查中喜欢combined rate, 现在shipping 公司给了他们个比他们喜欢的更加便宜的single rate,顾客自然会回头啊
