标题: critical reasoning
TrueSave is a mail-order company that ships electronic products from its warehouses to customers worldwide.  The company’s shippinganager is propmosing that customer orders be packed with newer, more expensive packing materials that virtually eliminate damage during shipping.  The manager argues that overall costs would essentially remain unaffected, since the extra cost of the new packing materials roughly equals the current cost of replacing products returned by customers because they arrived in damaged condition.

Which of the following would it be most important to ascertain in determining whether implementing the shipping manager’s proposal would have the argued-for effect on costs?

A. Whether the products shipped by TrueSave are more vulnerable to incurring damage during shipping than are typical electronic products
B. Whether electronic products are damaged more frequently in transit than are most other products shipped by mail-order companies
C. Whether a sizable proportion of returned items are returned because of damage already present when those items were packed for shipping
D. Whether there are cases in which customers blame themselves for product damage that, though present on arrival of the product, is not discovered until later
E. Whether TrueSave continually monitors the performance of the shipping companies it uses to ship products to its customers

目标:eliminate damage
方案:用新材料
要求:回答哪个选项的问题可以用来衡量经理的提议

分析:经理方案的假设(经理为什么要用这个方案的理由)是-----只要用了新材料就可以消除损坏
正确选项的大致方向:是否新材料能消除损坏
预测无关选项:正确选项连接“新材料”和“消除损坏”,任何不在这二者之间的选项都是无关
为了更好分析,去掉whether
A:这家公司的产品更容易受损。第一没有连接新材料和消除损坏,第二,就算容易受损,应用了新材料可以消除损坏。这个选项好像说“因为饿了要吃饭,求证是不是吃饭就能消除饥饿感,然后选项说肯德基比麦当劳更消除饥饿“
B:和A类似,这次变成其他物品,更加无关
C:在发货前就已经有损坏---这说明用了新材料也不能消除损失。现在加上whether然后回答问题,如果yes,那么不能减少损失,如果no,那么可以消除损失。
D:注意CASES,这说明某些情况是顾客自己弄坏的,那其他情况呢,没有说,所以不能判断
E:没有连接新材料和消除损坏。就算监督了,在运输过程中该损坏还是得损坏。

其实这道题就是找assumption
C选项如果改成“many returned items are NOT damaged before shipping",那这道题就好想了。
