Paper&rint is a chain of British stores selling magazines, books, and stationery products. In Britain, magazines’ retail prices are set by publishers, and the retailer’s share of a magazine's retail price 25 percent. Since Paper&rint’s margin on books and stationery products is much higher, the chain's management plans to devote more of its stores’ shelf space to books and stationery products and reduce the number of magazine titles that its stores carry. Which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that the plan, if put into effect, will increase Paper&rint’s profits? A. Recently magazine publishers, seeking to increase share in competitive sectors of the market, have been competitively cutting the retail prices of some of the largest circulation magazines. B. In market research surveys, few consumers identify Paper&rint as a book or stationery store but many recognize and value the broad range of magazines it carries. C. The publisher’s share of a magazine's price is 50 percent, and the publisher also retains all of the magazine's advertising revenue. D. Consumers who subscribe to a magazine generally pay less per issue than they would if they bought the magazine through a retail outlet such as Paper&rint. E. Some of Paper&rint’s locations are in small towns and represent the only retail outlet for books within the community.
B. Correct. If far more customers shop at Paper&rint for its broad range of magazines than for its books and stationery, then cutting the shelf space devoted to magazines may disappoint the customers, reducing overall sales and profits.

至于第二个问题，我同意你的说法，但是你看那段解析，第一句话就说这是个削弱，并非加强，后来我用关键词搜了这道题，你看这个帖子 http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_CR/thread-573609-1-1.html?postid=15172517&searchmode=TopicContent&searchtext=stationery%20products 你的版本里面丢了一个“not”呀！ “Which of the following, if true, most strongly argues that the plan, if put into effect, will not increase Paper&rint’s profits?” 确实是GWD的题，我以前也做过，想起来拉
LZ请看本题的解答： 官方推理Reasoning: What would make it least likely that devoting more of the business to books and stationery, and less to magazines, would increase profits? 是least likely，所以题目应该没错，可能还是对于题目理解上有点偏差。
