Q11:
Finding of a survey of Systems magazine subscribers:Thirty percent of all merchandise orders placed by subscribers in response to advertisements in the magazine last year were placed by subscribers under age thirty-five.

Finding of a survey of advertisers in Systems magazine:Most of the merchandise orders placed in response to advertisements in Systems last year were placed by people under age thirty-five.

For both of the findings to be accurate, which of the following must be true?

1. More subscribers to Systems who have never ordered merchandise in response to advertisements in the magazine are age thirty-five or over than are under age thirty-five.
   
2. Among subscribers to Systems, the proportion who are under age thirty-five was considerably lower last year than it is now.
   
3. Most merchandise orders placed in response to advertisements in Systems last year were placed by Systems subscribers over age thirty-five.
   
4. Last year, the average dollar amount of merchandise orders placed was less for subscribers under age thirty-five than for those age thirty-five or over.
   

E.  Last year many people who placed orders for merchandise in response to advertisements in Systems were not subscribers to the magazine.

答案是E，但是这道题的题目没看懂是什么意思，请帮忙看看，谢谢。

Percentage and number. Must be true type of question.

This is a simple math. There are two groups: subscriber to the magazine who placed an order to the advertisement and customers placing orders to the advertisement. The first group is a subgroup of the second group. Thirty percent of the first group are under 35 while more than 50% of the second group are under 35. Therefore choice E must be true because there must be at least one person who placed the order and who is NOT a subscriber of the magazine.

谢谢，明白了，但是有一点不同想法，30%修饰的是orders。根据原文，应该是去年30%的订单是年龄小于35岁的subscribers根据advertisement下的，但是advertiser调查显示，most of 订单是年龄小于25岁的人下的。所以推出许多下order的人不是subscribers。
