1. In January of last year, Fastfood King started using a new lowfat oil to cook its Fast Fries, instead of the less healthful corn oil that it had been using. Now Fastfood King is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt sales of Fast Fries. However, this claim is incorrect, since according to Fastfood King’s own sales figures, Fastfood King sold 10 percent more Fast Fries last year than in the previous year. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Fastfood King’s claim?

A Total sales of all foods at Fastfood King’s locations increased by less than 10 percent last year.

B Fastfood King enjoys higher profit margins on its Soft Drinks than it does on Fast Fries.

C Fastfood King’s customers prefer the taste of Fast Fries cooked in corn oil to Fast Fries cooked in lowfat oil.

D The number of customers that visited Fastfood King locations was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.

E The year before last, Fastfood King experienced a 20 percent increase in Fast Fries sales over the previous year.

2. The West Indian manatee, a distant relative of the elephant, returned to the sea some 50 million years ago. These thousand-pound herbivores inhabit the warm coastal waters where Americans like to play. Despite conservation efforts, criminal penalties for harming these creatures, and an overabundance of SAVE THE MANATEE! bumper stickers, none of these animals can be considered safe. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

A Last year, several manatees were mysteriously killed by an unidentified toxin.

B All manatees swim at depths than make them vulnerable to the blades of motorboat engines.

C Most tourists are unaware of the ongoing efforts to save the manatee.

D The population of manatees in the wild has dwindled to fewer than 2,500 animals.

E Although dozens of manatee deaths are documented each year, many more deaths go unreported.

去年F开始用健康低脂油代替玉米油，但F打算换回去因为他们觉得换油减少了薯条的销量。这个理由是不正确的，因为F去年卖出了比之前多10%的薯条，问哪个支持后面这个反对的结论
A Total sales of all foods at Fastfood King’s locations increased by less than 10 percent last year.  整体食物销售量少于10%，薯条大于10%，说明薯条卖的更多了
B Fastfood King enjoys higher profit margins on its Soft Drinks than it does on Fast Fries.  没提到软饮
C Fastfood King’s customers prefer the taste of Fast Fries cooked in corn oil to Fast Fries cooked in lowfat oil.  顾客更喜欢也不一定代表买了，不一定代表销量上涨
D The number of customers that visited Fastfood King locations was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.   去年客户数量多20%，而薯条只增长10%，是削弱了，说明薯条卖的不好了
E The year before last, Fastfood King experienced a 20 percent increase in Fast Fries sales over the previous year.  前年+20%，去年才+10%，相反了，说明薯条卖的不好了

A Last year, several manatees were mysteriously killed by an unidentified toxin.   没提到跟毒素有关系
B All manatees swim at depths than make them vulnerable to the blades of motorboat engines.  人喜欢开摩托，摩托会伤害大象，支持
C Most tourists are unaware of the ongoing efforts to save the manatee.  无关
D The population of manatees in the wild has dwindled to fewer than 2,500 animals.   数量少但是跟文章没关系
E Although dozens of manatee deaths are documented each year, many more deaths go unreported.   跟文章无关
