关于逻辑链的第三题(video rental)有问题想请教一下,Brad的话中说videorama只sell了400,而其他的outlets确损失了10000,所以这个损失不能说是因为videorama的开张造成的。

题目是让weaken Brad的观点,我一开始是觉得如果如果Videorama租出的比卖出的多,那就能弥补这个当中购得差额了,所以一开始选了A。后来看了大家的解释后觉得E确实是一个更佳的答案。

那我想请问A为什么是错的呢？是因为它说借出的更多，到底多多少，是不是不够充分？还是说因为它没有针对题干中Brad的话提出质疑（题干只是说了卖掉的和减少的，并没有设计租出的量）呢？

可能问的比较罗嗦，呵呵，不好意思，希望能够得到回答，谢谢咯

第一篇：1. 36
       2. Background: relative little room for carpet market because of the size of the population.
          Conclusion: companies should through purchasing competitors to gain market share, not through more aggressive marketing.
       3. what if there are less companies.
       4. C
 A,  我觉得是无关选项。题目问的是gain market share in the carpet market.
 B,  这个选项其实应该是支持文中结论吧。因为市场是小的，那么只能通过并购来提高市场占有量。哦，这个只是说明一个事实。并没有说他不成功的原因/
 C， 说明的一个事实，就75%的合并都是不成功的。应该是这个吧。
 D， 这个应该也是支持，说明merger不是唯一的方法。应该选这个的！
 E， 无关选项吧。

第二篇：1. 25s
       2. scientists want to remove EXCESS carbon dioxide by increasing the amount that is absorbed plants. and this plan is establish giant floating seaweed, after the seaweeds die, they will be disposed of by being burned for fuel.
       3. what if those seaweed will absorbed more than excess carbon dioxide? What if the seaweed will product more carbon dioxide after they die?
       4. B
 A, 无关选项。题目并没有问实行这个计划的可行性。而是问如果这个计划可以实施，会产生什么样的不好处。
 B， 如果这种seaweeds 死后会产生更多CD的话，那么这个计划就是徒劳无功的。
 C， 无关选项，这已经是之后要考虑的问题。
 D， 这是提供一个事实，证明CD太多了，植物吸收不来。
 E， 题目并没有问道cost的问题。所以应该也是无关。

第三篇：1. 47s
       2. because  V sold only 4,000 videos in 1994, while C lost 10,000 orders of rental. So that it not because V.
       3. B的假设是建立在一个rental的人会买一张video。 可是也许，一个customer 买了一个video后，原本要租的他身边的朋友都不用去租了的话。那么J说的结果是有可能的。
       4. E
A, 这应该是一个track的选项， 可是B对比的是V卖出去的和C失去的租界订单，所以V租出去的应该是没有关系的。
B， 题中并没有提到，无关选项。
C， 无关
D， 无关
E， 说的多好呀，还不准我买了之后借给我朋友啦。



第四篇：1. 28S
       2. MW stated that DW product a new wine with a similar design on bottle. Therefore, MW’s customers will mistakenly buy DW’s product.
         While DW said since the label is different so that the claim from MW is not right.
       3. what if the label is really small that no one will pay attention to? What if MW’s label also has a gold color?
       4. D
A, 无关选项。DW的label的颜色没有什么可考察性。
B，这个是支持DW的说法的。
C，无关选项
D，一般客户都是根据general impression去选择酒的。削弱了DW的说法。
E， 好像是支持DW的说法的。

第五题， 1. 35s
        2. first finding, subscribers里订购M的人有30% 的是小于35 岁的subscribers.
          Second finding, 订购M的人有35% 是小于35岁的。
        3. 我最讨厌这种题了。所以不看选项完全没思路。不过估计也就是注意总的订购M的人数和订购M里subscribers人数的区别了。
        4. C
A, 这个好像是相反的
B, 这个是无关选项
C, 既然只有百分之30是小于三十的，那么大部分应该都是大于三十的。
D， 这个是相反的
E， 无关啦。

iaoinging

我认为哦，不晓得是不是对的。
B的假设是建立在一个rental的人会买一张video。可是也许，一个customer 买了一个video后，原本要租的他身边的朋友都不用去租了的话。那么J说的结果是有可能的。A说的是V租出去的，可是B对比的是V卖出去的和C失去的租界订单，所以V租出去的应该是没有关系的。
，可是B对比的是V卖出去的和C失去的租界订单，所以V租出去的应该是没有关系的。

Jennifer: Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer video rentals in 1994 than in 1993. The decline in rentals was probably due almost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and only video rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also sold them cheaply.

Brad: There must be another explanation: as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals. Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer's explanation?

P:
There is relatively little room for carpet company to increase their total profit because the size of population. Most people will buy carpet only twice in their lifetime.
C:
As the population ages, companies can only increase their market share through purchasing competitors rather than marketing.
Pre:
There are other ways to increase market share.
A:
A. Irrelevant. What take about in the argument is carpet, not other floor coverings.
B. If there is no remaining niche in the market for new brands, maybe companies can increase their market share only by purchasing competitors.
C. Shell game. Profit≠market share
D. Correct. If other producers leave the market, then the market share of company will increase, so there is no need to purchase other competitors.
E. If customers don’t want new style, then whatever the company do will not increase the market share.

B:
Scientists try to decrease the carbon dioxide through increase the amount absorbed by plants.
P:
When the seaweed plants die, they will be disposed of by being burned for fuel.
C:
Excessive carbon emission will be reduced through establishing giant floating seaweed farms in the oceans.
Pre:
Plants may release more co2 during their burning than their absorbed.
A. Even if some areas of ocean in the Southern Hemisphere do not contain sufficient nutrients to support large seaweed farms, there will be some places can. So it cannot weaken the argument.
B. Correct! If this situation is real, then the strategy taken by scientists cannot reduce the amount of carbon dioxide.(对于方法可行性的质疑)
C. Although “some” people will be reluctant to switch to new fuel, this is not relevant to what we talk about because we just want to assess whether the strategy itself can be useful.
D. This answer proves that the method taken by scientist can be useful at some extent, so it cannot indicate the most serious weakness.
