文章意思不难，但实在不理解为什么选C.
8. In Malsenia sales of classical records are soaring. The buyers responsible for this boom are quite new to classical music and were drawn to it either by classical scores from television commercials or by theme tunes introducing major sports events on television. Audiences at classical concerts, however, are continually shrinking in Malsenia. It can be concluded from this that the new Malsenian converts to classical music, having initially experienced this music as recorded music, are most comfortable with classical music as recorded music and really have no desire to hear live performances.
The argument assumes which one of the following?
(A) To sell well in Malsenia, a classical record must include at least one piece familiar from television.
(B) At least some of the new Malsenian buyers of classical records have available to them the opinion of attending classical concerts.
(C) The number of classical concerts performed in Malsenia has not decreased in response to smaller audiences.
(D) The classical records available in Malsenia are, for the most part, not recordings of actual public concerts.
(E) Classical concerts in Malsenia are not limited to music that is readily available on recordings.
Audiences at classical concerts是指每场音乐会的观众人数。C排除一个他因。如果每天都有音乐会，有可能场场爆满吗。
Audiences at classical concerts是指每场音乐会的观众人数。
如果这样翻译，选项C是对的。但Audiences at classical concerts, 明明指总人数呀。
still puzzled....
If C is not true, that is, the number of classical concerts decreased, then it is reasonable that Audiences at classical concerts decrease. So C should be assumed to rule out other reasons cause that Audiences at classical concerts decrease.
藕终于明白了。。。为什么反应这么慢尼。
thank you, anyway!
(B) At least some of the new Malsenian buyers of classical records have available to them the option of attending classical concerts.
why not B?
如果new Malsenian buyers of classical records没有机会去听现场，那结论也不能成立啊。
C有些牵强吧。还是B好些。
作为C，如果是场场爆满，smaller audiences又是什么。
Hey guys, why do you think the correct choice is C? I have just checked the "10 Actual, Official LSAT PrepTests" by LSAC. This problem appears in December, 1992 test. The correct choice is clearly B, not C.
Woo...I can't find this question in the December 92 test, but I think (C) is a possible answer based on the following:
*premise
1. sale of records soaring
2. buyers of this boom- drawan to classical music from "recorded" ones (TV commercials or sport events)
3. audience of concerts shrinking
*conclusion
1. "boomers" are more comfortable with records
2. they don't have a desire to go live performance
**assumption**
Those boomers must have the same opportunity to go concerts as the old generation did in order to reach that conclusion. If the number of concerts has decreased, it would be difficult to reach that conclusion, just like leeon mentioned above.
答案应该是B，排除C的关键在于C项中"in response to smaller audiences"，尤其是smaller这个词，这是比较后的状态，而非比较前的假设。另外顺便说一下，假设C是假设，且假设如果音乐会的场数增多人们一定会来听，但来听的前提是什么，依然是B啊。
音乐会人数下降,但音乐会场次没变,说明音乐会空位随时可有,这就说明NEW M对参加音乐会无兴趣.
所以我支持C
好大的争议哦~
到底是什么呢？
我也选了B~但是仔细想想觉得C也不错~好像都挺能assume,晕了~
I actually think the correct answer is D.
The conclusion is that the new buyers are more comfortable with recorded classic music and has no desire to hear live performance. Answer D assumes that The classical records available in Malsenia are, for the most part, not recordings of actual public concerts. So it does support the conclusion that buyers do not like to hear from acutal public concert performance.
支持c,因为n m不听现场的原因有可能是现在的音乐会场数较之以前减少了，导致人们听现场的机会减少所以才购买records,而c排除了这个原因，表明，音乐会的场次仍然没有减少，也就是说，客观的条件现在跟以前比没有改变，改变的是人们主观上的偏好，这才能得出结论。因为结论就是说的主观上人们的偏好改变了，而直接默认了c指出来的，主观改变的同时客观仍然不变的假设。
The correct answer should be B.
Let's examine the stimulus closer. It concludes on the the ground that the buyer don't go to the concert because they don't want to do so. But what if they buy records instead of go to concert because of the difference of accessibility between the two. Say, it's easier or more convienient to listen the music thru records, for the tickets for a concert is hard or even impossible to get. In this way, we must validate the conclusion by eradicating the possible that the situation happens when concerts are available to those who buy records. Thus, we come to the right crack.
However, when considering of choice C, we may use the neglect+weaken way. True, there's possibility that the decrease of concerts results in a shrink of audience. But how? Even the number of concerts goes down, we can still reasonably to claim that the disire for concerts goes down, because the number of concerts and desire cannot related to each other that tightly, at least from the information we know from the stimulus. then no weakening.
支持C
反推
绝对是B。C的关键错误是它说的是in response to smaller audiences,which happens before the number of concert decrease. So the decrease of number of concert is a result of small audiences, but not the cause. If it is not stated as in response to small audience, it will have same explanary power as B.
