标题: LSAT-12-2-11【sugar-free】

11. The labeling of otherwise high-calorie foods as "sugar-free," based on the replacement of all sugar by artificial sweeteners, should be prohibited by law. Such a prohibition is indicated because many consumers who need to lowe weight will interpret the label "sugar-free" as synonymous with "low in calories" and harm themdselves by building weitht-loss diets around foods labeled "sugar-free." Manufactures of sugar-free foods are well aware of this tendency on the part of consumers.



Which one of the floowing, if true, provides the strongest basis for challenging the conclusion in the passage?



A. Food manufacturers would respond to a ban on thelabel"sugar-free"by reducing the the calories in sugar-free" products by enough to be able to promote those products as diet foods.



B Individual who are diabetic need to be able to identify products that contain no sugar by reference to product labels that expressly state that the product contains no sugar.



C. Consumers are sometimes slow to notice changes in product labels unless those changes are themselves well advertised.



D.Consumers who have chosen a particular weight-loss diet tend to persist with this diet if they have been warned not to expect very quick results.



E. Exactly what appears on a product label is less important to consumer behavior than is the relative visual prominence of the different pieces of information that the label contains.


key's B. 为什么E不行呢?如果label上写的对消费者选择产品的行为不重要,这不就是反对了原文的evidence吗?

E说比较不重要,并非不重要或没影响,原文只要有看LABEL并有影响到消费者就行了。B说对diabetic来说,NO SUGAR就是一点糖都没,有一点糖就是有糖,不能含糊的说没糖,会害死他们的,故WEAKEN结论

E懂了!

B是不是说,diabetic是不会因为看到label上写了sugar-free就认为是no sugar的,所以对他们没误导影响,所以weaken原文结论?

RIGHT

      agree with lawyer-1's explanation for the right answer A

      but i don't think the reasoning offered by pocahontas is right

      the passage presents the fact that because the label "sugar-free" misled the comsumers who want to lower their weight(减肥者), the label should be prohibited.

      B says that diabetic(糖尿病患者)need the label "sugar-free" for selection. thus the label "sugar-free" is needed

      the passage did not mention "relative visual prominence of the different pieces of information "(the passage does not tell us what information the label contains), thus E has no bearing on the conclusion.

      for further discussion...

1。原文结论是:将otherwise high-calorie 标成"sugar-free," 这种做法应禁止。举个例说有些人会把sugar-free当作low in calories。B说diabetic就不会,他们由于一点糖都会让他们致命,所以不会将"sugar-free当作no sugar ,除非PRODUCTS expressly state 说没糖。

2。E的THAN后面即使是原文提到的内容,也不会使答案,因为LABEL重不重要的问题已经偏离了主题,原文说的是会不会错认为别的问题。
