[size=9.000000pt]In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the lesshealthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the changehas 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.[size=9.000000pt]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 than 5 percent last year.
B. Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than it does on sales of movie tickets.
C. Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
D. Total attendance at Moviemania’s movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.
E. The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.

正解是A  我选的C
前人给的解释A: all refreshments 的趋势衬托爆米花销量增加。但是我觉得，既然 argument 只针对爆米花的销量，那么A选项提到 all refreshments 销量如何变化的，就应该是无关选项啊
个人理解C选项：argument 是“电影院给出的 saying (我理解成原因) 是错的”，那么如果有其他原因导致电影院换回 coconut，就可以 support argument 了吧

求大神解答！！

我对A的理解是：

去年refreshments的整体销售增长都没有到5%，但爆米花却达到了。说明爆米花销量是高于平均的，有效增强

我感觉A是没有其他更好的选项就会选的主要是纠结在C上了

Fact: Last M theaters replaced coconut oil with canola oil, as canola oil is more healthy.
M' Claim: M theaters now decides to change back as canola oil hurts its business
Critics: M theaters is lying. as sales revenue with canola oil is greater than one with coconut oil by 5%

to Support Critics(argument against M' claim),
C Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
整个题目是围绕着revenue来说的，因为revenue下降了，M 才决定要换回到coconut oil。而Critic说：M 公司撒谎，自从用了新的油，它的销售额上升了5%。 C的答案是说顾客喜欢旧油的口感，不喜欢新油的口感，这个理由与revenue和change oil 没有任何关系。其是C从某种程度上质疑了Critic提出的证据。

欢迎交流~！

c选项不是加强了电影院自己的说法了吗？电影院说换了以后影响销量，c说顾客更偏爱以前那种，所以是在加强电影院的说法。也就是说，最后是起到了削弱问题要问的论点，所以是错的
