5. BandPopularity
A recent article asserted that, from 2002 to 2006, Band 1 generated the most revenue of
any band in the world. The article based this claim on the fact that in each of those years,
Band 1 Sold the most albums, and Band l 's highly anticipated first concerttourwas the
highest grossing concert tour in the industry in 2006.
Which of the following, if true, weakens the article's assertion?
(B) Band 1typically puts on extraordinarily expensive concerts with elaborate staging, video
displays and light shows.
(C) From2002 to 2006, other bands released concert film and video anthology OVDs that
were eXtremely lucrative.

答案是C
我想问的是B为什么不对?
它给的解释是
(B) Irrelevant. The fact that the concerts put on by Band 1 were extraordinarily expensive does not
impact the revenue generated by the band during the period. It may influence tour profitability,
but that is beyond the scope of this argument.  (它说可以影响tour的收益,那就是可能revenue没那么高,为什么beyond the scope了啊)
(C) CORRECT. Weaken. The evidence presented for the claim that Band 1 generated the most
revenue in the period.2002 to 2006 on a revenue basis relies on album. Sales and concert tours.
However, if other bands released very lucrative DVDs during this period, another band may
have generated more revenue overall than did-Band 1, which apparently did not release lucrative
DVDs (the choice says that "other bands" did this, not Band 1).   (这个也只是other bands may have generated more revenue )

在B和C这纠结了好久>< 求助NN!!!先跪谢了!

Revenue and profit are two different things.

Revenue = cost + profit.

B) only says that the cost is high.  And the passage is about revenue.  Hence, B) is out of scope. Simple accounting.

C) on the other hand, challenges the conclusion directly by saying that other groups might have HIGHER revenue the Band 1.
