11. Every week, the programming office at an FM radio station reviewed unsolicited letters from listeners who were expressing comments on the station’s programs,. One week, the station received 50 letters with favorable comments about the station’s news reporting and music selection and 10 letters with unfavorable comments on the station’s new movie review segment of the evening program. Faced with this information, the programming director assumed that if some listeners died not like the movie review segment, then there must be other listeners who did like it. Therefore, he decided to continue the movie review segment of the evening program.

Which on e of the following identifies a problem with the programming director’s decision process?

(A) He failed to recognize that people are more likely to write letters of criticism than of praise.

(B) He could not properly infer from the fact that some listeners did not like the movie review segment that some others did.

(D) He failed to take into account the relation existing between the movie review segment and the news.

(E) He did not wait until he received at least 50 letters with unfavorable comments about the movie review segment before making his decision.

为什么选B啊?有没有NN解释一下,谢谢

You have to eliminate the wrong choices. A is wrong because it is simply not the case for the reason that he received more praise letter than criticism letters, so that nothing should lead him to think that people are more likey to write letters of criticism than of praisem, and therefore he obviously did not fail to realise that. C is wrong, because even if he took into consideration the discrepancy in the numbers between the two, it would still be possible for him to make the wrong conclusion. D is wrong for the same reason for C. E is totally ragtime. B is right, because he wrongly infers that there must be someone who like it just because there are someone who don't like it, and that inference is quite absurd.

This question is more about tricky wording than anything else. Just have to cut through it. Go back read again, the 50 praise letters are for what and 10 critical letters are for what. There is no relation between these two. Question is hoping you fall into the trap thinking they are related just as the editor did.
