Fairhaven--justify

FireEarth · 发表于 2017-6-27 22:39:57

Only reducing the number of customers at the Fairhaven branch of the Tax Center by 15 percent will allow the center to reduce the significant waiting time that many of their clients experience. The Tax Center in Brookerton, 30 miles away, would—if expanded—provide an attractive alternative for 30 percent of the customers currently using the Fairhaven Tax Center. Nevertheless, the Tax Center CEO has rejected the proposal to expand the Brookerton branch, claiming that it will not end the long wait times at the Fairhaven branch.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the CEO's position?

ASending more customers to Brookerton would increase traffic along the roads to that city, making the driving time longer.
BThe Olivera branch, close to the Fairhaven branch, would be a closer option than Brookerton for 35 percent of customers who now use the Fairhaven branch.
CBrookerton is a small town in which numerous other local businesses would benefit from increased business at the Brookerton Tax Center.
DCustomers who have stood in line for more than five minutes are likely to spend significantly less money on services than those who do not have to wait.
ESixty-five percent of Fairhaven customers cite the dedicated staff as the primary reason for returning to that Tax Center.
这道题的答案为E，请教各位，是为啥呢。。。
谢谢！

E给出了与“方案有效性”相关的理由：即-现有的消费者是因为喜欢F tax center的员工才选择的F tax center。所以方案说利用另一个扩张B tax center来解决F center人太多的问题，并不会有效。所以直接反驳原文提议的方案 = 支持了CEO的反对意见。

非常感谢回复！

这里我在思考数据上，原文说15%的削减就可以缓解问题，那么E说有65%的人是铁粉。
那么，其他的35%并没有说会不会走呀，另外35%的人只要走一半，也是有效计划的。

ASending more customers to Brookerton would increase traffic along the roads to that city, making the driving time longer.
--> 'Traffic' - 无关选项直接排除
BThe Olivera branch, close to the Fairhaven branch, would be a closer option than Brookerton for 35 percent of customers who now use the Fairhaven branch.
--> ‘O branch’ 与原文的方案无关，即 -与F无关也与B无关，排除。
CBrookerton is a small town in which numerous other local businesses would benefit from increased business at the Brookerton Tax Center.
-->local business和F center的‘waiting time’也无关。排除
DCustomers who have stood in line for more than five minutes are likely to spend significantly less money on services than those who do not have to wait.
-->迷惑选项；这里虽然提到了waiting time，但是并没有提到方案，也没有说如何能或者不能解决waiting time的问题。仍然是无关选项，排除。
ESixty-five percent of Fairhaven customers cite the dedicated staff as the primary reason for returning to that Tax Center.
--> E是唯一的正确答案。

你考虑的剩下那35%的人的事情，属于过度推理了。因为你并不知道这35%的人会不会去B center，这一点其实是你自己推理出来的，原文并没有给任何foundation.
另外你需要了解，GMAT的正确答案并不等于100%逻辑严丝合缝。正确答案是对比出来的。

希望这个解释对你有帮助。

好的，这个解释非常清晰了！非常感谢！

这是一个挺套路的题，回复解释清楚了他的套路是什么~

不过如果“奋斗”也在备考的话，也请注意数据上的考虑，我确实见过用数据确定答案的，题号真的记不住了。。。

是的，在备考。同加油！

CR有许多和数据有关的题 - 比如有一个是关于车是否装了测速器的题：仅有3%的车装了测速器，但是在所有被贴超速罚单的车中，有33%是有装测速器的车。然后结论是：果然是装了测速器的驾驶员更容易超速啊。

这题应该就是FireEarth同学说的和数据有关的题目吧。

但是这题的解题思路可以从数学的（数据的）角度去思考，也可以从纯推理的角度去思考。我觉得还是看每个人的思维习惯，哪一个思路用起来更顺就用哪一个~
