标题: GWD-9-Q38

In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters 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 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 percent last year.
Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than it does on sales of movie tickets.
Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
Total attendance at Moviemania’s movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.
The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.

答案是A，谁能给我解说一下么？有点想不明白。。。

(1) canola oil more healthful than coconut oil; canola->coconut;

(2) change back due to the low sales;

(3) false, 5% more last year than in previous year.

support: 同样转化为数学题目思考：

去年popcorn比前年增长5%

而整体的所有产品销售增长<5%,则支持说明了popocorn卖的比其他商品都好。

那为什么E不对呢？说明销量的增长下降了，没有以前增长的那么好了阿

增长比率下降不代表不增长，E和原文的"hurt popcorn sales"是不对应的，所以错。选A.

有木有人知道E与原结论有木有关联呀？有点想不清
