GWD-9-Q38:

In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania’s own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.

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.

这题选A, 我怎么觉得跟原文的推理没什么关系啊，，，求教，谢谢

全部不到5%，POPCORN实际增长超过了5%，所以其的CLAIM是错的

首先请LZ明确这个题目问的是什么，让选反驳 Moviemania’s claim的话， Moviemania’s claim说switch影响了爆米花的销售。
我们选的是支持爆米花销售增长的选项
题目说了一个爆米花增长了5%，如果说本店的全部零食销售收入普遍了50%的话，那么爆米花的只有5%增长反而只能说明受到了影响
A说全部的不到5%，恰恰说明爆米话的销售确实增长了。
这个属于防御性支持，希望LZ明白~
