Q15:

FastMart, a convenience store chain, is planning to add pancake syrup to the items it sells.  FastMart stores do not have shelf space to stock more than one variety of syrup.  Surveys of FastMart customers indicate that one-fourth of them prefer low-calorie syrup, while three-fourths prefer regular syrup.  Since FastMart’s highest priority is to maximize sales, the obvious strategy for it is to stock regular syrup.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A:     eople buying pancake syrup at convenience stores, unlike those buying it at supermarkets, generally buy it only a few times.

2. People who prefer low-calorie syrup generally use about the same amount of syrup on their pancakes as those who prefer regular syrup.


3. Regular syrup does not sell for a higher price per unit than low-calorie syrup.


4. In general, customers who prefer regular syrup will buy low-calorie syrup if regular is unavailable, but those who prefer low-calorie will not buy regular syrup.


5. Sales of syrup are not expected to account for a large proportion of total dollar sales at the average FastMart store.

NN选什么？

我的思路：喜欢低卡syrup的人少，喜欢普通的多－>买普通的syrup

Weaken：买低卡syrup的量amount和买普通的一样多。B

因为regular syrup=3/4 customer

low calorie syrup= 100% customer

而且偶感觉B是在加强的答案,因为喜欢low calorie和喜欢regular的人在做cake时使用量上相等，但是喜欢regular的人却是喜欢low calorie的三倍，所以regular的购买量会大。

Ａ是不是也有weaken呢？因为去convenience store的顾客只是偶尔去的过路客，所以survey的调查对象不一定有代表性？

请教ＮＮ．．．

D is the best answer.

The original passage is about low-calorie syrup vs. regular syrup, but A is about convenience store vs. supermarket, A is not really relevant.

這題我覺得d怪怪的...

題目說 FastMart stores do not have shelf space to stock more than one variety of syrup.

這句是一個事實,代表fastmart只可以放一種syrup...

那麼如果這樣的話,又怎麼會有d這個買不到regular的會去買low-calorie的問題呢...??

因為根本只能放一種syrup啊....

請各位nn指點..
