LSAT-8-4-7

搜过,没人问



7. Advertisement: Over 80 percent of the people who test-drive a Zenith car end up buying one. So be warned: you should not test-drive a Zenith unless you are prepared to buy one, because if you so much as drive a Zenith around the block, there is a better than 80 percent chance you will choose to buy it.



If the advertisement is interpreted as implying that the quality of the car is unusually impressive, which one of the following, if true, most clearly casts doubt on that implication?



(A) Test-drives of Zenith cars are, according to Zenith sales personnel, generally more extensive than a drive around the block and encounter varied driving conditions.



(B) Usually dealers have enough Zenith models in stock that prospective purchasers are able to test-drive the exact model that they are considering for purchase.



(C) Those who take test-drives in cars are, in overwhelming proportions, people who have already decided to buy the model driven unless some fault should become evident.



(D) Almost 90 percent of the people who purchase a car do not do so on the day they take a first test-drive but do so after another test-drive.



(E) In some Zenith cars, a minor part has broken within the first year, and Zenith dealers have issued notices to owners that the dealers will replace the part with a redesigned one at no cost to owners.




why C?  I chose E.


问题是问most clearly casts doubt on that implication,这个implication是:the quality of the car is unusually impressive。所以只要选可以说明这种车没有传说中那么好的选项。E说新车开了一年就坏了小零件,不正是说明车没有那么好吗?


还是我的思路有问题。如果说选E加入了主观意愿(a minor part has broken within the first year说明车不是unusually impressive),那么C的道理在哪里呢?

"这个implication是:the quality of the car is unusually impressive。所以只要选可以说明这种车没有传说中那么好的选项。E说新车开了一年就坏了小零件,不正是说明车没有那么好吗?"--------------------the implicatio of the argument is: the high quality of the car, which the test drivers could detect in test driving,  cuased those test-drivers to buy the car  

However, the causal relationship is misleading. C points out that those who decided to test-drive are those who already decided to buy the model well before they took the test-driving.  Their decision of buying the car may have nothing to do with the test-driving.
