OG12 cr第9题

像风一样离去

9.In order to reduce the number of items damaged while
in transit to customers, packaging consultants
recommended that the TrueSave mail-order company
increase the amount of packing material so as to fill
any empty spaces in its cartons. Accordingly,
TrueSave officials instructed the company's packers
to use more packing material than before, and the
packers zealously acted on these instructions and
used as much as they could. Nevertheless, customer
reports of damaged items rose somewhat.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain
why acting on the consultants' recommendation failed
to achieve its goal?

(A)The change in packing policy led to an increase
in expenditure on packing material and labor.

(B)When packing material is compressed too
densely, it loses some of its capacity to absorb
shock.

(c）The amount of packing material used in a carton
does not significantly influence the ease with
which a customer can unpack the package.
(D)Most of the goods that TrueSave ships are
electronic products that are highly vulnerable to
being damaged in transit.

(E)TrueSave has lost some of its regular customers
as a result of the high number of damaged items
they received.

我想问D怎么不对呢？公司运输的电子产品容易损坏，不也是一个他因削弱么？

是我对这个the consultants' recommendation failed to achieve its goal理解错了？？？
不光要解释为什么采取措施没有实现降低损耗的目标，还要解释为什么采取措施之后损耗反而增加？

我也有些疑惑但后来想了想，我觉得D项说运送的是电子产品，但这个公司可能一直都在运送本身就易损坏得电子产品，并未解释清楚原文的PARADOX即听取了意见后反而产品坏的更多了

首先谢谢你的回答。
其次，我想问为什么要解释原文的paradox？题目只是要我们explain为什么采用了计划之后没有达到想要的结果啊，如果是脆弱的电子产品不是可以解释么？
再给我说说。。。

7。RESOLVE THE PARADOX
看原文：找出原文的矛盾或奇怪的现象
找答案：用相关无关排除答案，和具体的矛盾的事有关无关，结合TEST。
TEST：答案必须使原文相矛盾的事物不矛盾或都是真，都成立
出自http://forum.chasedream.com/GMAT_CR/thread-74525-1-1.html




采取建议的目的是增加运送包裹的数量来减少包裹损的损坏，然而包裹却损坏的更多了，这不正是原文的矛盾或奇怪的现象吗？则答案应该是包裹的增加与损坏之间的关系
B项合理的解释了原文的矛盾，即：虽然采取计划通过增加运送包裹的数量来填充空隙，但是当包裹堆积过密会减少其吸收震荡的能力，导致包裹却损坏的更多了。蓝色部分即解决PARADOX的部分

反观D项，这个公司可能一直都在运送本身就易损坏得电子产品，即使没有达到想要的结果，但也不会导致包裹坏损量比以前多。重要的是D项没有消除增加运送包裹与损坏量增加这个矛盾

我个人感觉来看，D项中所提及的电子产品本身容易坏损，并不能够解释包装公司放了更多的填充物而导致坏损量比以前多的原因。这个选项是一个SHELL GAME，即干扰选项，与本文的TrueSave officials instructed the company's packers
to use more packing material than before, and the
packers zealously acted on these instructions and
used as much as they could. 无关。

结论是more packing material ---》customer reports of damaged items rose somewhat.

有些东西是这样的：填充的材料越多，越紧实，就越容易碎……

D可以解释为什么还有坏的，可是D不可以解释为什么坏的反而变多
