In the past, every ten-percentage-point increase in cigarette prices in the country of Coponia has decreased per capita sales of cigarettes by four percent. Coponia is about to raise taxes on cigarettes by 9 cents per pack. The average price of cigarettes in Coponia is and has been for more than a year 90 cents per pack. So the tax hike stands an excellent chance of reducing per capita sales of cigarettes by four percent.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

正确答案: A

A对

这题似乎是哪道GWD

9cents和price90cents,price上升10%,根据题目的说法,销售会将4%

但是这有个前提,那就是price确实会上升10%,如果烟草商会降低价格,使得上升没有10%,那么销量不会降4%

A说,烟草商不会降低利润,那么原先的90cent的price不会改变,这样的话结论才能得出。
