Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a creditcard logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many creditcard holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists' interpretation of the studies?

正确答案: B

94.    Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies?
(A)     The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.
(B)     Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
(C)     In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.
(D)     In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.
(E)     The percentage of restaurant bills paid with a given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is presented.
答案是B

这道题本身逻辑就比较乱,个人觉得
原文:
研究表明:the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo.
                 【当用带有信用卡logo的托盘给用现金付款的顾客呈现他们的账单时,他们往往会付更多小费。】
                  注意这里只是单方面的,没有说付少的情况,也没有指明这是财务状况好还是坏的情况,支也支持专家“看到logo多付”的结论

专家结论:simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.
                 【仅仅是看到信用卡logo就会让很多信用卡持有者原意付更多,因为logo提醒他们他们的支付能力比他们手上可支付的现金要多】
                  1、专家结论也没有说这是光针对财务状况好的人;
                  2、注意remind后提醒的是“他们的支付能力超过他们的现金(支付能力)”,注意人专家的结论不是说信用卡Logo仅中立地提醒顾客的他们的信用状况

                 看到这,我当时想的结论就是信用卡Logo提醒顾客他们有比实际大的支付能力,所以多付

所以看到B项,Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
                     【有信用卡财务压力的顾客看到托盘上的信用卡logo后会比没有logo时付的小费少。】
我的想法是:明显与“看到logo多付”这一事实及专家也支持的结论以及“超过实际的支付能力”这一专家结论违背。
                    有人说现实上说不过去。我觉得现实上即使我有信用卡压力,也不能否定“我有信用卡后支付能力>无信用卡的现金支付能力”这一既定事实,这个暗示有点绝对了,君不见以前无们办公室小姑娘刷卡那叫一个暴啊,她们哪个没有信用卡压力,照刷不误,几张卡里倒呢。

基于这一理解,在对E上也不太满意的情况下,就选了E,因为我觉得至少不像B一样与专家的观点相悖

可能B才是题目想表达的,但是从做题的角度我觉得我也没错,因为在没有暗示的情况下,我不知道原本题目想说什么。

可能钻牛角尖了,但是讨论讨论未偿不可,欢迎

我和楼主想法很相似,之前也是选了E。我想之所以答案是B,大概是为了突出信用卡LOGO的这种提醒作用,当一般顾客看到这个LOGO的时候,倾向于觉得自己的实际支付能力大。所以有credit-card obligations 的人看到信用卡LOGO的提醒,倾向于少付tips。后来我再仔细看看选项E,确实这段话里没有说过这个观点,是无关选项。
      楼主可以去看看OG后面的解释,也似乎是重点在强调“信用卡LOGO”的提醒作用。

对,看了它的解释我知道它强调的是提醒作用,也就是提醒个人自己的支付能力,有好也有坏,但不看解释,也就是做题的时候怎么能知道这个目的呢?毕竟考试时没有解释可看

For this question, the argument hinges on the hypothesis that a credit logo reminds the credit card holder of their spending power.

Only B supports this hypothesis.

同样在B和E之间纠结了一会儿后选择B
我觉得题目里经济学家的论点是信用卡标志让付款人联想到了自己的信用账户的情况 从而影响付小费的尺寸 尽管题目里只是列举了多付的情况 但是B可以反正了付小费和联想到自己信用账户这两者之间的必然关系的
但是E只是说明了这个付款人想到了自己有那么一张卡 和题目本身假设的这种联想关系是无关的

个人认为,从题型上看这是一道加强题,即使A到B更完美,B不一定正确,但提高了假设的可能性即可。
LZ说的很对“注意remind后提醒的是“他们的支付能力超过他们的现金(支付能力)”,注意人专家的结论不是说信用卡Logo仅中立地提醒顾客的他们的信用状况”假设就是强调LOGO的提醒作用,而B选项正好提供了一个证据,证明这种LOGO对于某一类人(财务状况有问题的人)起作用,所以从一方面加强了,假设对于Study的interpretation

俺觉得逻辑题,应该从简单想起...
题目论点:
credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.

所以,只要找到支持论点的答案.
E 和论点好像没有什么关系。

我怎么觉得D挺对的。。。用现金的人比用卡的人付的TIPS多呀,证明他们意识到了他们有更多的支付能力呀,怎么错了。OG说它WEAKEN了。。。。不懂

这一句是专家对那个研究结果的解释,那么要让这个解释合理必须要让“信用卡标识对持卡人支付意愿有影响”这样一个前提成立,不管是正面影响也罢,负面影响也罢。
选项B举例证明了“信用卡标识对欠钱的持卡人支付意愿有   ‘负面’   影响”,这个影响存在就能对前面的解释给予支持虽然不是正面的支持,相对而言B就是最好的了。
