查了OG11-80(purple). Vitacorp, a manufacturer, wishes to make its information booth at an industry convention more productive in terms of boosting sales.The booth 0ffers information introducing the company's new products and services.To achieve the desired result, Vitacorp's marketing department will attempt to attract more people to the booth.The marketing director's first measure was to instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to visit the booth. Which of the following,if true,most strongly supports the prediction that the marketing director's first measure will contribute to meeting the goal of boosting sales? (A) Vitacorp's salespeople routinely inform each important customer about new products and services as soon as the decision to launch them has been made. (B) Many of Vitacorp's competitors have made plans for making their own information booths more productive in increasing sales. (C) An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth. (D) Most of Vitacorp's best customers also have business dealings with Vitacorp's competitors. (E) Vitacorp has fewer new products and services available this year than it had in previous years.
A If the best customers already have all available new product and service information,they are unlikely to respond to the invitation to visit the booth;this point is a weakness in the plan. B Competitors’ efforts toward the same goal may hurt Vitacorp's efforts,so this point does not support the plan. C Correct.This statement properly identifies a point supporting the marketing director's plan. D The plan simply aims to attract more visitors to Vitacorp's booth to encourage more sales and does not address the fact that Vitacorp shares its customers with its competitors. E Again,the plan merely seeks to attract all increased number of booth visitors,and thus potential buyers,to boost sales,no matter what new products and services may be offered this year.
回到本题,B选项难道不是weaken吗?虽然感觉上是很弱弱地weaken 觉得A有点out of scope,these customers are not the target of the marketing director. So wondering...Ask NN for help, thanks.
