标题: OG12-92请求解答 [打印本页] 作者: kobe198879 时间: 2010-11-13 23:12 标题: OG12-92请求解答 In the country of Veltria, the past two years’ broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the fi rst year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the fi rst and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time? (A) The total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the fi rst year of the recession and the second year.
(B) Between the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase.
(C) Of the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having fi nancial diffi culties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year.
(D) Clothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise.
(E) Relatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the fi rst year of the recession.
哇，那么第二年比例上升是因为已经刨除了第一年倒闭的零售商，对吗？？作者: xfi883 时间: 2010-11-13 23:47
第一年比例下降中的原因包含：因经济衰退而不能归还债务的+非因经济衰退而不能归还的； 第二年比例上升的原因是：因衰退而不能归还债务的都按时还钱了。作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2010-11-14 00:35
It is a very simple logic. Suppose you have a basket of apples, both good and bad. In the first year, the recession helped you to remove most of the bad apples. Then in the second year, you found that the percentage of bad apples in the basket is much lower that that in the first year (assuming the good apples in the first year did not change into bad apples in the second year).
