Smithtown
University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted.This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job.On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base.The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.

Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
A.Smithtown University’s fundraisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
B.This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university’s fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.
C.This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University
from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university’s fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.
D.The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University
this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.
EMore than half of the money raised by Smithtown University’s fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.
我开始选的C 真的不知道这题C怎么不好了

A说这大学的fundraiser从那些之前没有捐款的人那获得捐款的成功率和别的大学的fundraiser的成功率差不多..这样就加强了题目中的结论: 这大学的高成功率主要是因为"people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past",而不是fundraiser的个人能力比别的大学的强..

C是shell game...这句话只是强调了题目中的premise.."the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past"...

这题是一道填补Gap的题,

结论是The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Principle则是good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base.

所以根据Principle可以得出better fund-raisers gain more less-likly prospects (larger donor base),而A选项对less-likly prospects成功率的对比正好能得出结论。

在计时的情况下，大家都不约而同的选了C……
我后来读了N遍之后才发现C的错误：文章讨论的是contact之后的概率，而C说的是没contact的，所以是两码事儿，无关~
可是在考试时候咋办啊？有没有大牛有给好方法，能迅速把这些关系理清？

如楼上所说，C选项跟题干信息“Smithtown University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. ”矛盾了，是无关选项。

这个题有点绕。
