请教大家一道OG12 verbal Sample question, 34，关于Tuna

sissizhx

A year ago, Dietz Foods launched a yearlong advertising campaign for its canned tuna. Last year Dietz sold 12 million cans
of tuna compared to the 10 million sold during the previous year, an increase directly attributable to new customers
brought in by the campaign. Profits from the additional sales, however, were substantially less than the cost of the
advertising campaign. Clearly, therefore, the campaign did nothing to further Dietz's economic interests.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
(A) Sales of canned tuna account for a relatively small percentage of Dietz Foods' profits.
(8) Most of the people who bought Dietz's canned tuna for the first time as a result of the campaign were already loyal
customers of other Dietz products.
(C) A less expensive advertising campaign would have brought in significantly fewer new customers for Dietz's canned
tuna than did the campaign Dietz Foods launched last year.
(D) Dietz made money on sales of canned tuna last year.
(E) In each of the past five years, there was a steep, industry-wide decline in sales of canned tuna.

非常不明白，为什么B不对呢？有哪个NN可以解释一下吗？

拙见：如果是B的话，意味着买canned tuna的顾客之所以买canned tuna，可能是因为他们本身就是老主顾了（loy ...

【key】结论的具体化：whether the campaign led the profits less than the cost and did nothing to further D's economic profits.
【Tip】去掉无关，找weaken。


A： the percentage of canned tuna,与结论无关。

B： 顾客买Dietz其他产品的忠诚度与结论无关。

C： 更少的campaign的花销会带来更少的新顾客，比去年，与结论无关。

D：选项是一个fact set，与结论无关

E： 是食品行情不好导致的D的效益不好，weaken了结论。

选项C是什么意思，看半天没有看懂

C的意思是：更少的campaign的花销会带来更少的新顾客，比去年。与结论无关。

我觉的好像不太对吧，应该B的意思还是那些第一次买tuna的人，最后已经成为了重视用户， 去买其他产品。都是发生在过去，所以都用过去时。如果是按照二楼的解释，是已经买了其他产品的人去买了tuna应该是 most of people who were already loyal customers of other Dietz products bought Dietz's canned tuna.  此外，如果按照二楼的说法，那么想表达“那些第一次买tuna的人，最后已经成为了重视用户， 去买其他产品” 应如何表达呢？
