56. Advertisers are often criticized for their unscrupulous manipulation of people’s tastes and wants. There is evidence, however, that some advertisers are motivated by morals as well as financial consideration. A particular publication decided to change its image from being a family newspaper to concentrating on sex and violence, thus appealing to a different readership. Some advertisers withdrew their advertisement from the publication, and this must have been because they morally disapproved of publishing salacious material.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument?
(C) The advertisers expect their product sales to increase if they stayed with the changed publication, but to decrease if they withdrew.
答案:C
陈向东的解释:C的内容表明那些广告商即使在蒙受经济损失的情况下,依然撤走了他们的广告,这就充分证明了他们此举不是出于财政上的考虑,而是在道义上不赞成该刊刊登猥亵的内容。
但是我觉得C中的两个if条件都不是真正发生的(用的都是虚拟语气),并且but后面也只是一个if条件,并不能说明advertisers就甘愿蒙受损失撤走他们的广告,大家觉得我这种说法是否正确 |
