求助。对一个逻辑题的解释有点糊涂

15.

The cost of producing radios in Country Q is ten percent less than the cost of producing radios in Country Y. even after transportation fees and tariff charges are added, it is still cheaper for a company to import radios from Country Q to Country Y than to produce radios in Country Y.

The statements above, if true, best support which of the following assertions?

A. labor costs in Country Q are ten percent below those in Country Y.

B. importing radios from Country Q to Country Y will eliminate ten percent of the manufacturing jobs in Country Y.

C. the tariff on a radio imported from Country Q to Country Y is less than ten percent of the cost of

manufacturing the radio in Country Y.

D. the fee for transporting a radio from Country Q to Country Y is more than ten percent of the cost of manufacturing the radio in Country Q.

E. it takes ten percent less time to manufacture a radios in Country Q than it does in Country Y.

15.

If the tariff on importing radios from Country Q to Country Y were as high as ten percent or more of the cost of producing radios in Y, then, contrary to what the passage says, the cost of importing radios from Q to Y would be equal to or more than the cost of producing radios in Y. thus, the tariff cannot be that high, and C is the best answer.

A and E give possible partial explanations for the cost difference, but neither is supported by the passage because the cost advantage in Q might be attributable to other factors. B and D are both consistent with the information in the passage, but the passage provides no evidence to support them.

说B和D consistent with the information in the passage, but the passage provides no evidence to support them. 什么叫consistent? 和support有什么区别吗？ thanks!

consistent with应该是与。。。一致的意思。就是不矛盾，但也不互相证明对方

support就有比较强的逻辑关系，可以推理出来结论。

你觉得呢。

同意，我刚才觉得自己逻辑上有些糊涂了。因为以前和老板做实验的时候，如果用同一种方法，在不同的背景下，比如测试3次，对同一个subject测试出的结果都是大致相同，那么我们就说这些结果综合起来，支持我们的实验方法，说明它是有效的。consistent就是指几组数据之间相互一致，而support就是说这样的结果，证明了我们方法的可行性。 对吧？

以前经常用这两个词，丈着自己反正是外国人，从来不好好区分，今天第一天开始复习GMAt，碰到了，就糊涂了。问了这个土问题，献丑了。
