标题: 求大神讲解这道prep的逻辑题

Some airlines allegedly reduce fares on certain routes to a level at which they lose money, in order to drive competitors off those routes. However, this method of eliminating competition cannot be profitable in the long run. Once an airline successfully implements this method, any attempt to recoup the earlier losses by charging high fares on that route for an extended period would only provide competitors with a better opportunity to undercut the airline's fares.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

a. in some countries it is not illegal for a company to drive away competitors by selling a product below cost

b. airline execs generally believe that a company that once underpriced its fares to drive away competitors is very likely to do so again if new competitors emerge

c. as part of promotions designed to attract new customers, airlines sometimes reduce their ticket prices to below an economically sustainable level.

d. on deciding to stop serving particular routes, most airlines shift resources to other routes rather than reduce the size of their operations.

e. when airlines dramatically reduce their fares on a particular route, the total number of air passengers on that route increases greatly.

正确答案是b

原先降价获得先机的公司，在之后提价时会给竞争者反击的机会（降价），因此，用价格战来减少竞争的方法长期来看无法有效获利。

问削弱。

B项是说，对于那些率先降价的航空公司来说，一旦出现竞争者降价的时候，它们会再次降价以保证竞争者无法进入市场。故技重施，从而保证自己的市场。因此，起到了削弱原结论的作用。
