GWD7-Q30:
Printwell’s Ink Jet Division manufactures ink-jet printers and the ink cartridges they use.Sales of its ink-jet printers have increased.Monthly revenues from those sales, however, have not increased, because competition has forced Printwell to cut the prices of its printers.Unfortunately, Printwell has been unable to bring down the cost of manufacturing a printer.Thus, despite the increase in printer sales, the Ink Jet Division must be providing the company with much smaller than it used to.



Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?



A.Ink-jet printers in regular use frequently need new ink cartridges, and Printwell’s printers only accept Printwell’s ink cartridges.

B.Unlike some competing companies, Printwell sells all of its printers through retailers, and these retailers’ costs account for a sizable proportion of the printers’ ultimate retail price.

C.Some printer manufacturers have been forced to reduce the sale price of their ink-jet printers even more than Printwell has.

D.In the past year, no competing manufacturer of ink-jet printers has had as great an increase in unit sales of printers as Printwell has.

E.In the past year, sales of Printwell’s ink-jet printers have increased more than sales of any other type of printer made by Printwell.

D选项的对比的对象是错误的，不用看具体的就排除了~题干要你weaken的是the Ink Jet Division 在现在与它自 ...

懂了  那就是 横比 纵比的问题  thx

好吧应该选择A，选的时候就在AB中间纠结，A是对的，客人现在经常买cartridges，但是printer 和 cartridges 是匹配的。一定要买cartridges。所以卖printer的时候带动了卖cartridges。所以月收入就能增加了。

LS说的很好很清楚，D明显是无关选项，LZ在做题的时候要注意focus在结论上，原文的结论是这个division贡献的收益少了，跟别的竞争者没有关系，就算P是这个行业里总收益最高的，但这个division的贡献还是有可能是下降的，所以D不对

少改成多，不好意思~

换句话说，P已经是行业里增长最快的了，也不能保证目前的division收入就比以前的少。

jameshzd

D选项的对比的对象是错误的，不用看具体的就排除了~题干要你weaken的是the Ink Jet Division 在现在与它自己以前的revenue 的对比，对比的对象是the Ink Jet Division是它本身， 而D说 P已经是行业里增长的最快了，那是P行业与其他行业之间的比较，和 Division 的收入在不同时期的变化无关。所以D排除~不知道这样说你理解没？

可是D选项说，P已经是行业里增长的最快了，所以不用削弱部门，不也能weaken么？
