P255 284
Corporate Officer: Last year was an unusually poor one for our chemical division, which has traditionally contributed about 60% of the corporation’s profits. It is therefore encouraging that there is the following evidence that the pharmaceutical division is growing stronger: it contributed 45 percent of the corporation’s profits, up from 20 percent the previous year.
On the basis of the facts stated, which of the following is the best critique of the evidence presented above?
(C)The percentage of the corporation’s profits attributable to the pharmaceutical division could have increased even if that division’s performance had not improved.
能帮我分析一下这道题吗？conclusion 和evidence各是什么？答案为何是C?

conclusion: the pharmaceutical division is growing stronger

reason support it: it contributed 45 percent of the corporation’s profits, up from 20 percent the previous year.

so if the increase in the profit is due to some other reasons rather than better performance of the division, then we cannot say the division is stronger.

C just mention this possiblity.
