(AAB6)请教AA新题B6

B6. The following appeared in a letter from a part-owner of a small retail clothing chain to her business partner:

“Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.”

这篇都有哪些错误啊?每个月都会考到啊!

1. the rate of increasing price is higher does not mean the price is higer(unwarranted assumption)

2. even the price of real estate is higher does not mean the price of the retail space is higer(misapplied generalization)

3. the price of retail space is not only necessary reason to claim the overpricing (oversimplification)

4. the lower price of retail space does not mean financial interest(oversimplification)

btw: it seems that new topics are more difficult than old ones

补充一点：exclude other reasons：

even with the assumption stated above, the forecast that… is still open to uncertainty. The author fails to consider and rule out other criteria for determining the…, such as… Lacking better evidence that… is the only possible factor to influence… it is entirely possible that… was caused by the factors discussed above rather than…

小女拙见，补充一点：

贵不一定就不投资，贵有贵的道理：地角好，人气旺，更要投资。再便宜没人去也没有用。
