There are about 75brands of microwave popcorn on the market; altogether, they account for a little over half of the money from sales of microwave food products. It takes three minutes to pop corn in the microwave, compared to seven minutes to pop corn conventionally. Yet by weight, microwave popcorn typically costs over five times as much as conventional popcorn. Judging by the popularity of microwave popcorn, many people are willing to pay a high price for just a little additional convenience.

23. If the statements in the passage are true. Which one of the following must also be true?

(A) No single brand of microwave popcorn accounts for a large share of microwave food product sales.

(B) There are more brands of microwave popcorn on the market than there are of any other microwave food product.

(C) By volume, more microwave popcorn is sold than is conventional popcorn.

(D) More money is spent on microwave food products that take three minutes or less to cook than on microwave food products that take longer to cook.

(E) Of the total number of microwave food products on the market, most are microwave popcorn products.

D选项中microwave food products that take three minutes or less to cook是否就是microwave popcorn？因为题干说microwave popcorn account for a little over half of the money from sales of microwave food products，所以答案是D？请NN指正。

微波炉苞米花占了微波炉食品销售额的一半稍多。与传统苞米花相比（7分钟），微波炉苞米花耗时短（3分钟）。但是，如果重量同等，微波炉苞米是传统苞米花价格5倍。微波炉苞米花的流行说明：许多人愿意为些许的方便付出更高的价格。

我也不知道答案为啥是D。但是，我认为这段没提供比较另人信服的证据支持“微波炉苞米花是流行的”这一论断。所以，这里有个明显的逻辑上的跳跃。
