prep12-68到底正确答案是A还是E？？

Smithtown University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted.  This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job.  On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base.  The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
A.Among potentialdonors contacted by Southington University's fund-raisers, the majority of those who did not make donationswere people who had made donationsto the university in the past.

E.The majorityof the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in gettingfor Southington University were from donors who had never given to the university before
网上有的论坛或者网站说正确答案是A，也有说E的。有谁知道prep标准答案啊。
我自己做的时候觉得，A,E选项，都是对的。
有人说A错是在于：没有说明raiser联系了更多less-likely prospects。但是因为 getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors，而老donators又没捐钱，不就说明其实raisers联系了很多less-likely prospects并成功拉到钱了吗？


所以我觉得，A,E都是对的啊。

我选A，因为剩余没有make donation的人中大部分是之前donate过的，进一步说明fundraiser选择的donarbase是那些之前donate过的。不知这样理解是否正确。

我选a,
A.Among potential donors contacted by Southington University's fund-raisers, the majority of those who did not make donations were people who had made donations to the university in the past.
如果fund riser did good job, 没有捐钱的应该来自new prospects, 但是in fact 没捐钱的都是老客户， 所以They did not do a good job. This supports the argument.

E.The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Southington University were from donors who had never given to the university before
e and a are opposite. 题干说了： good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base， 事实说明他们做到了，他们是好的fund raiser.

这道题把两个变体题的文章和选项混搭了。
prep12-69原题是个削弱题，题干略有不同：
Southington University's fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted this year. This rate would be the expected rate if the only potential donors contacted were those who have donated in the past. But good fund-raisers constantly contact less likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. Thus the high success rate, far from showing that the fund-raisers did a good job, shows insufficient canvassing effort.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.        Among potential donors contacted by Southington University's fund-raisers, the majority of those who did not make donations were people who had made donations to the university in the past.
分析该选项：
B.        The amount of money raised by Southington University's fundraisers this year was lower than the amount they had raised in any of the previous several years.

C.        Individual donations made to Southington University this year were, on average, slightly larger than were average individual donations made to many other universities.

D.        Fund-raisers contacting past donors are not only to get new donations but also to get names of potential new donors to contact.

E.        The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Southington University were from donors who had never given to the university before.

这题正确答案是E。

你给的这个题干是gwd当中的一个加强题：
Smithtown University's fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.

Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
A Smithtown University's fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.  
B This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university's fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.  
C This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university's fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.  
D The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.  
E More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University's fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.  

这题正确答案是A。
