答案是d .为什么不是b呢? 我理解是不喜欢被检查的人上那些--自从1985年别检查没发现有问题的,最喜欢被检查的人在正确答案d中被称为在1984年被查没毛病的,实在不理解,和1984年有什么关系呀,我怀疑自己题目意思理解有问题,大家帮忙呀,谢谢了

18.   Critics of sales seminars run by outside consultants point out that since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars. The critics charge that for vacuum cleaner companies, the sales seminars are ill conceived and a waste of money.

Which of the following, if true, is the most effective challenge to the critics of sales seminars?

(A) Those vacuum cleaner companies whose sales were highest prior to 1987 are the only companies that did not send employees to the seminars.

(B) Vacuum cleaner companies that have sent employees to sales seminars since 1987 experienced a greater drop in sales than they had prior to 1987.

(C) The cost of vacuum cleaner sales seminars run by outside consultants has risen dramatically since 1987.

(D) The poor design of vacuum cleaner sales seminars is not the only reason for their ineffectiveness.（A）

(E) Since 1987, sales of vacuum cleaners have risen twenty percent.

正确答案是A ,为什么呀,如果是A不就变成了加强题了吗,我选的是e.这道题我有搜索过前辈的讨论,但是还是不明白,希望得到大家的指点呀谢谢了

5. in Choice B, That person has been audited in 1986 and found no error (coz his lawyer fixed his errors before filing so IRS didn't find any errors). Therefore, that guy is safe.

谢谢解答先,但偶还是不明白,你这是b,你的解释不是正好说明b是正确的呀,我是觉得正确答案b没有无关,能帮偶针对1984这个点解释一下吗,谢谢

还有偶的第18题,请大家帮忙指点下,不要置之不理哈!!

5. 题目问：什么样的人最容易被审查？   

    已知：1985年之后被审查过但没有出现错误者最不会被审查。

   B. 1986年被审查但没有发现错误（因为他的错误已经在报税之前被其律师更正了）

        所以，这人不会被审查。不选 B.

   D.1984年被审查过，但没发现错误。

        1984年，早于1985年，过期了， 查！  所以， D 对。

18. 1987年之前，Alpha 公司的收益最好。

    自从1987年，Beta 公司试图赶超 Alpha 公司，于是 Beta 参加了销售研讨会。 Alpha 公司没参加该研讨会。

    但是，Beta 公司的收益就是不如 Alpha 公司。

    所以，critics 说，是研讨会有问题。

E. 即使 sales have risen 20%, 但是并不能驳斥 critics 的假设 “since 1987, revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees attended consultant-led seminars were lower than revenues of vacuum cleaner companies whose employees did not attend such seminars.“ 所以不能驳斥 critics 的结论。所以，E 错。

A.  I don't know how to explain it. so...

     有请 NN...

？ 18。

up.... up.... up....

A说只有87年前销售最好的公司才没参加SEMINAR。也即有参加SEMINAR的公司销售（收入）低于没参加SEMINAR的公司的原因是没参加的公司本来销售就好，有参加SEMINAR的公司销售实际是有提高的，知识还没赶得上销售最好的公司。即不是SEMINAR没效果。
