104. The cost of producing radios in Country Q is 10 percent less than the cost of producing radios in Country Y. Even after transportation fees and tariff charges are added, it is still cheaper for a company to import radios from Country Q to Country Y than to produce radios in Country Y.
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions?
(A) Labor costs in Country Q are 10 percent below those in Country Y.
(B) Importing radios from Country Q to Country Y will eliminate 10 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Country Y.
(C) The tariff on a radio imported from Country Q to Country Y is less than 10 percent of the cost of manufacturing the radio in Country Y.
(D) The fee for transporting a radio from Country Q to Country Y is more than 10 percent of the cost of manufacturing the radio in Country Q.
(E) It takes 10 percent less time to manufacture a radio in Country Q than it does in Country Y. Argument Construction
Situation One country's manufacturing costs for a product are 10 percent higher than another country's. Even with tariffs and transportation costs, importing is a less expensive option than local production.
Reasoning What conclusion can be drawn from this information? Because production costs are 10 percent higher in Country Y than in Country Q importing radios is less expensive only if the combined costs of tariffs and transportation are less than 10 percent of the manufacturing costs.
A Lower labor costs may explain the lower production costs in Country Q but there may be a variety of other reasons as well.
B It is possible that manufacturing jobs would be decreased, but no evidence in the passage leads to that conclusion.
C Correct. This statement properly identifies the point that, for importing to be less expensive, tariffs and transportation costs together must be less than 10 percent of manufacturing costs. Therefore, tariffs one must be less than 10 percent
D If transportation costs were more than 10 percent, importing would be more expensive, not less.
E Less production time may explain the lower costs in Country Q but there may be a variety of other reasons as well.
The correct answer is C.
C 选项的解释是：C Correct. This statement properly identifies the point that, for importing to be less expensive,
tariffs and transportation costs together must be less than 10 percent of manufacturing costs. Therefore, tariffs one must be less than 10 percent
且题目中也清楚地表述
Even after transportation
fees and tariff charges are added, it is still cheaper for a company to import radios from Country Q to Country Y than to produce radios in Country Y..
那么如果单说tariffs one must be less than 10 percent 是不是构不成充分条件？只构成必要条件？我的意思是在不知道 transportation 的情况下单说tariffs是不充分的~~请大家帮忙解答一下~~：） 另外我感觉A选项给的解释也不是很清楚，A也有可选性阿~~
if
A+B<10
Then A<10
这题是假设题吧.
这题我昨天刚好看到的.
假设题只要求选项是必要条件.没有要求是充分条件啊...
所以.C选项刚好补上了import is still cheaper 与10% less之间的桥梁.构成了桥梁型假设呀..
