78.        

Kitchenmagazine plans to license the use of its name by a line of cookware.  For a magazine, licensing the use of its namefor products involves some danger, since if the products disappoint consumers,the magazine's reputation suffers, with consequent reductions in circulationand advertising.  However, experts haveevaluated the cookware and found it superior to all other cookware advertisedin Kitchen.  Therefore, Kitchen cancollect its licensing fee without endangering its other revenues.

Theargument above assumes which of the following?

A.No other line of cookware is superior to that which will carry the Kitchenname.

B.Kitchen will not license the use of its name for any products other than theline of cookware.

C.Makers of cookware will not find Kitchen a less attractive advertising vehiclebecause the magazine's name is associated with a competing product.

D.Consumers who are not regular readers of Kitchen magazine will be attracted tothe cookware by the Kitchen name.

E.Kitchen is one of the most prestigious cooking-related magazines.

为什么答案选择C

前提（因）是：“专家评估了该厨具厂商并且发现它的质量是超过所有在Kitchen这本杂志上做广告的其他厂商的”但是C答案是说其他厨具商不感兴趣因为杂志商和这家竞争对手联系在一起。我觉得这个答案和因没关系阿

用helr的方法试一试
stimulus的第一句说了一个方案，并且第二、三句对方案已经进行了评估，所以不是方案型推理。however后面是一个主要前提，therefore后是结论，且前提与结论在逻辑时间发生顺序上同因果发生的顺序一致，所以stimulus是因果推理。因此要从因的特点来考虑。
前提=因是cookware在K杂志上的广告比其他的好，结论=果是K杂志不会承受风险。假设就是中间的因果推论，即C为什么好就能不对K产生负面影响。
A是对原文的复述；
B不涉及C产品的好；
C正确，因为K杂志是和其他产品在名誉上是等价，C产品的名誉好坏不会影响K杂志的名誉好坏，而且C产品的广告质量又是K杂志中最好的，所以C产品的好就不会对K杂志产生负面影响；
D不涉及C产品的好；
E不涉及C产品的好。
