in January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theater started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to moviemania’s own sales figures, moviemania sold 5percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against moviemania’s claim?
A. total sales of all refreshments at moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less that 5 percent last year.
B. Moviemania makes more moncy on food and beverages sold at its theaters that it does on sales of movie tickets.
C. Moviemania’s customer prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
首先, the claim是 saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales.要反对这句话,才能符合题目意思.
题目中提出一个原因:
That claim is false, however, since according to moviemania’s own sales figures, moviemania sold 5percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
