8. Among the more effective kinds of publicity that publishers can get for a new book is to have excerpts of it published in a high-circulation magazine soon before the book is published. The benefits of such excerption include not only a sure increase in sales but also a fee paid by the magazine to the book's publisher.



Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?



(A)The number of people for whom seeing an excerpt of a book in a magazine provides an adequate substitute for reading the whole book is smaller than the number for whom the excerpt stimulates a desire to read the book.

(B)Because the financial advantage of excerpting a new book in a magazine usually accrues to the book's publisher, magazine editors are unwilling to publish excerpts from new books.

(C)In calculating the total number of copies that a book has sold, publishers include sales of copies of magazines that featured an excerpt of the book.

(D)The effectiveness of having excerpts of a book published in a magazine, measured in terms of increased sales of a book, is proportional to the circulation of the magazine in which the excerpts are published.

(E)Books that are suitable for excerpting in high-circulation magazines sell more copies than books that are not suitable for excerpting.

答案是A，A是什么意思呢
为什么E不对呢？

A的意思是原本想买来读的，看了缩写后，觉得不想读了的人一定比那些原本没想读，看了缩写后想读的人少，这就是表明，缩写本带来的读者比减少的读者多，这就是文中销量增加的注释呀！


E中适合excerpts 不适合excepts 的比较你是无法从原文得出的

mark...

为什么是smaller   我觉得 只能说明 the number of  people for whom the excerpt stimulates a desire to read the book  不为0就行啊？？难道理解错了？看半天了

E
算是无关选项了吧

A) says that those people who ONLY read excerpt instead of the whole book are fewer than those who will read the whole book after reading the excerpt.

As for E), suitable or not for excerpting is not the focus here. The key is to find if excerpting would HELP sell more books vs. not excerpting.
