标题: <求助>two assumption questions from Princeton

In an effort to reduce the amount of fat and the number of calories that they consume, many citizens of the United States are making significant changes in their diets. For them, staying in shape and looking fit now take precedence over eating foods that are filling and that taste good. It is likely that if they maintain these new priorities with consistent regard for other health issues, the length and quality of their lives will increase significantly.

Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the argument is based?

A Eating foods that are filling and that taste good is inconsistent with staying in shape and looking fit.

B Controlling the quality of one's life requires more than mere dietary adjustments.

C A combination of diet and exercise is necessary if one wishes to stay in shape and look fit

D Many citizens of the UNITED States have only recently discovered the importance of diet to living a longer, healthier life.

E. Staying in shape and looking good are current goals for most citizens of the United States

偶选E

Singing in the Rain Umbrella Corp. plans to institute a marketing campaign in which it sells umbrellas at the exits of subway stations during rainy weather. The unmbrellas will be sold at a price that is slightly higher than normal. The company thinks the sales of these higher-prices unmbrellas will be greater than normal sales of umbrellas, because the purchasers of these umbrellas will be forced to buy them if they do not want to get wet.

The author assumes which of the following about purchasers of umbrellas in predicting the sales of unmbrellas?

A Customers who do not feel immediate pressure to purchase will not do so

B Normally priced unmbrellas are not profitable for Singing in the Rain Umbrella Corp.

C Very few people buy Singing in the Rain's normally priced unmbrellas

D Singing in the Rain Umbrella Corp. will have to stop selling normally priced unmbrellas when it starts selling higher-priced umbrellas

E Most potential customers of Singing in the Rain's higher priced umbrellas will not have acquired an umbrella previously.

偶选A

请NN们指教。多谢

另外，建议打字的题要特别对照一下原来的，即使一点小错误也会影响理解。

A不对的原因是没有提到结论中的新概念the length and quality of their lives 。将A取非，Eating foods that are filling and that taste good 和staying in shape and looking fit.一致。既然一致了，有priority便不影响，结论一样能成立。故不是假设
