I think it's a perfect explanation, clear and convincing. definitely the answer should be E 以下是引用albert在2003-9-12 21:53:00的发言:
Hi emonee,
I don't quite agree with your explanation..I think E is the answer, below is my reason.
first, we should know what is the evidence and conclusion of the argument. evidence: 1. value of product= quality/price 2. the higher the value, the better will be its competitive position. conclusion: either increasing the quality or decreasing the price, customer will be likely to choose the product.
In the passage, we notice a GAP between evidence and conclusion: value of product and customer's choosing the product..We can not safely conclude that the higher the value, the more likely that customers will choose the product UNLESS we know that customer can identify the value correctly. In other words, IF customers can't make sure which product has higher value, how can we conclude that customers will surely choose the product with higher value?
a is incorrect because it simply repeat the meaning of evidence 1..without mentioning the relation between evidence and conclusion, it can not support the conclusion..
e is correct because it fill the GAP between evidence and conclusion..without E, the conclusion can not safey be drew. "the actual quality of the product" in choice is the same meaning of "the value of the product".
my two cents.
good luck!
