费费-48

48. The television show Henry was not widely watched until it was scheduled for Tuesday evenings immediately after That’s Life, the most popular show on television. During the year after the move, Henry was consistently one of the ten most-watched shows on television. Since Henry’s recent move to Wednesday evenings, however, it has been watched by far fewer people. We must conclude that Henry was widely watched before the move to Wednesday evenings because it followed That’s Life and not because people especially liked it.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A.      Henry has been on the air for three years, but That’s Life has been on the air for only two years.

B.       The show that replaced Henry on Tuesdays has persistently had a low number of viewers in the Tuesday time slot.

C.       The show that now follows That’s Life on Tuesdays has double the number of viewers it had before being moved.

D.      After its recent move to Wednesday, Henry was aired at the same time as the second most popular show on television.

E     That’s Life was not widely watched during the first year it was aired

为什么 D 不对啊？想不通。

题目先说明Henry第一次move后的变化：从看的人少，到当move到周四晚变成10大受欢迎节目之一了。

recent move到周三后：Henry看的人少。

加强：Henry看的人少，是因为播出的时间问题。

D：周三同时有个收看率第二的节目——即保证了周三此时看节目的人数是一定的，没有比第一次move前看的人数少。说明Henry在同样观众的数量条件下，因为自身不好看，所以看的人少了。加强了题目是因为周四播出时间才使Henry的收视率成为10+的
