This year the New Hampshire Division of Company X,set a new record for annual sales by that division.This record is especially surprising since the New Hampshire Division has the smallest potential market and the lowest sales of any of Company X's divisions.
Which of the following identifies a flaw in the logical coherence of the statement above?
A. If overall sales for Company X were sharply reduced,the new Hampshire Division's new sales record is irrelevant to the company's prosperity.
B. Since the division is competing against its own record,the comparison of its sales record with that of other division is irrelevant.
C. If this is the first year that the New Hampshire Division has been last in sales among Company X's divisions,the new record is not surprising at all.
D. If overall sales for Company X were greater than usual,it is not surprising that the New Hampshire Division was last in sales.
E. Since the New Hampshire Division has the smallest potential market,it is not surprising that it had the lowest sales.
正确答案是B,可是我怎么看都觉得是D。费老师讲的也不是很清楚，请高人指点一下！
我来帮帮你~
请注意题目：This year the New Hampshire Division of Company X,set a new record for annual sales by that division.This record is especially surprising since the New Hampshire Division has the smallest potential market and the lowest sales of any of Company X's divisions
有两个比较：第一个是在for之后，第二个是在since之后引出；并且注意它们所限定的范围
第一句说明这个new record 是这个New Hampshire Division 自己的最高（that division指的就是the New Hampshire Division）， 即：自己跟自己比。
第二句却用New Hampshire Division 与X公司的其他Division比，即：自己和别人比。而record surprising出奇的高是自己与自己比的，当然不能用自己与别人比较的结果来解释。二者无可比性，所以不能解释。想想看：我一直自己和自己比，提高了，挺好的，凭什么拿我和别人比，这不是牵强么！我比我的，与他人无关啊。（B）说明了这一点，一看就是正确选项。（D）完全说的另一回事儿，这跟题目有什么因果关系我想了半天没想出来~一看就是胡扯呢~~~
不知道这么说你明白没有~
哦对，另外这题不是削弱题，你是不是因为当削弱做所以错了？
这题是找flaw，就是问你原文逻辑推理错在哪了~
