16.    Advertiser: The revenue that newspapers and magazines earn by publishing advertisements allows publishers to keep the prices per copy of their publications much lower than would otherwise be possible. Therefore, consumers benefit economically from advertising.

Consumer: But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they charge for their products.

Which of the following best describes how the consumer counters the advertiser’s argument?

(A) By alleging something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion

(B) By questioning the truth of the purportedly factual statement on which the advertiser’s conclusion is based

(C) By offering an interpretation of the advertiser’s opening statement that, if accurate, shows that there is an implicit contradiction in it

(D) By pointing out that the advertiser’s point of view is biased（A）

(E) By arguing that the advertiser too narrowly restricts the discussion to the effects of advertising that are economic

我人为A 并没有weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s conclusion （ consumers benefit economically from advertising.），因为CONSUMER 确实 BENEFIT FROM（ the prices per copy of their publications much lower than would otherwise be possible. ）。除非能肯定ADVERTISER 如果不打广告会使产品的价格低很多，那么A成立。但是存在可能不打广告，价格也很高（用其他的促销方式），所以A 不对。

E 指出ADVERTISER 单方面说明给消费者的利益，而没有看到消费者实际将MONEY 付在产品中了，来反对 ADVERTISER。所以 E正确。

请指正！

楼主可能对提问的理解有些问题“哪一项最准确的描述了消费者如何反驳广告者？”，Ａ说消费者靠提出一些东西来反驳广告人，而Ａ提出的这些东西呢确实weaken the plansibility of the advertiser's conclusion，因此Ａ正确。Ｅ提出消费者是靠指出广告者太窄的限制了对广告效应的讨论，与原文不符。
