Astronomer: Observations
of the Shoemaker-Levi comet on its collision course with Jupiter
showed that the comet broke into fragments before entering Jupiter's
atmosphere in 1994, but they did not show how big those fragments
were. In hopes of gaining some indication of the fragments' size,
astronomers studied spectrographic analyses of Jupiter's outer
atmosphere. These analyses revealed unprecedented traces of sulfur
after the fragments' entry. The fragments
themselves almost certainly contained no sulfur, but many astronomers
believe that the cloud layer below Jupiter's outer atmosphere does
contain sulfur. Since sulfur would have
seeped into the outer atmosphere if comet fragments had penetrated
this cloud layer, it is likely that some of
the fragments were at least large enough to have passed through
Jupiter's outer atmosphere without being burned up.
In the astronomer's
argument, the two portions in boldface
play which of the following roles?
(A) The first presents a
circumstance for which the astronomer offers an explanation; the
second is part of that explanation.
(B) The first acknowledges
a consideration that weighs against the conclusion of the argument;
the second is that conclusion.
(C) The first acknowledges
a consideration that weighs against the conclusion of the argument;
the second provides evidence in support of that conclusion.
(D) The first provides
evidence in support of the conclusion of the argument; the second
acknowledges a consideration that weighs against that conclusion.
(E) The first is a
judgment advanced in support of the conclusion of the argument; the
second is that conclusion. 我对这类型的题目，好像错误率非常之高。不知道同学们有什么好的方法或者讲究可以给我推荐一下么？

First-time computer buyers
buying PXC home computers typically buy models that cost much less
and have a smaller profit margin per computer than do PXC computers
bought by people replacing their computers with more powerful models.
Last year PXC's profits from computer sales were substantially
higher than the previous year, although about the same number of PXC
computers were sold and the prices and profit margins for each
computer model that PXC sells remained unchanged.
If the statements above
are true, which of the following is most strongly supported by them?
(A) PXC's competitors
raised the prices on their computers last year, making PXC computers
more attractive to first-time computer buyers.
(B) The number of people
buying PXC computers who also bought PXC computer-related products,
such as printers, was larger last year than the previous year.
(C) Among computer buyers
who bought a PXC computer to replace their existing computer, the
proportion who were replacing a computer made by a competitor of PXC
was greater last year than the previous year.
(D) The proportion of PXC
computers bought by first-time computer buyers was smaller last year
than the previous year.
(E) PXC's production costs
for its computers were lower last year than they had been the previous year.
我选择的答案是E，刚开始的时候再选项D、E之间徘徊了，选择了E。按照我的理解，D比较紧扣题意。但是E选项有什么明显的不对之处么？ 谢谢同学们的帮助。：）
