94. Studies in restaurants show thatthe tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger whenthe bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit card logo. Consumerpsychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit card holderswilling to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceedsthe cash they have immediately available. Which of the following, if true, moststrongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies? (A) The effect noted in the studies isnot limited topatrons who have credit cards. (B) Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligationstend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with a credit-cardlogo than when the tray has no logo. (C) In virtually all of the cases inthe 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 largertips than do those who pay by credit card. (E) The percentage of restaurant billspaid 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. 正确答案是B,懂了。。。但是我选的D,觉得D也还行啊。。。 D为啥不对啊。。。求教!
同意楼上。 但是此题也可以这样理解,题目中推论的核心基础是“REMINDS THEM THAT THEIR SPENDING POWER EXCEEDS......",也就是说是否能让顾客想到自己的"SPENDING POWER"的大小是决定顾客所给小费多少的依据,题目中的实例表明看到LOGO提醒了顾客他们还有现金之外的基于信用卡的更大的“EXPENDING POWER",所以给小费很大方;B项正好从相反的角度呼应了这个判断,即对有还钱压力的人来说,看到LOGO就想到有债务,使他们想到自己的“SPENDING POWER"很小,所以给小费少。D项与是否能提醒到顾客的”EXPENDING POWER"无关,不能辅助增强题目想要说明的观点,因为如果一般来说用现金支付的人就比用信用卡支付的人付小费多,既然是一般性的常规现象,就使原题的”STUDY“以及由此产生的对”LOGO"有无和小费多少之间关系的假设推断失去意义。
解释里面对D的解释是:To the extent that this bears on the interpretation of the study,it weakens it.Patrons using credit cards are surely aware that they have credit,and yet they spend less generously.
