199.
Vitacorp, a manufacturer, wishes to make its information booth at an industry convention more
productive in terms of boosting sales. The booth offers information introducing the company’s
new products and services. To achieve the desired result, Vitacorp’s marketing department will
attempt to attract more people to the both. The marketing director’s first measure was to
instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to
visit the booth.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the marketing
director’s first measure will contribute to meeting the goals of boosting sales?
(A) Vitacorp’s salespeople routinely inform each important customer about new products and
services as soon as the decision to launch them has been made.
(B) Many of Vitacorp’s competitors have made plans for making their won information booths
more productive in increasing sales.
(C) An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise
have attended the booth.
(D) Most of Vitacorp’s best customers also have business dealings with Vitacorp’s
competitors.
(E) Vitacorp has fewer new products and services available this year than it had in previous
years.

这道题目稀里糊涂作对了，但重新拿出来看还是没有很明白，帮忙指教！

C is correct answer.
Changing the c to the following should be helpful for understanding:

An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not have attended the booth without the information booth.

That means the booth did a good job to attract nomal public no matter who is big cusmoter or just a visting customer.
中文意思我想是：在日常工作做到位的情况下，才谈得到对特殊用户群的促销活动。

B,D,E are weaken.

A has contrary meaning with C

Hope that is helpful.

If I am wrong, let me know.

不好意思，还是不太明白。
不清楚：为什么
An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not have attended the booth without the information booth.=That means the booth did a good job to attract nomal public no matter who is big cusmoter or just a visting customer.

我是在按照我的理解将其翻译。如果直译的话

信息采集部门在吸引客户来参观这方面做的很好，没有他们的工作，这些客户将不会来参观。

不知这样是否好点。

欢迎继续讨论。

我的理解是：前提director’s first measure was to instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to visit the booth.>结论the marketing director’s first measure will contribute to meeting the goals of boosting sales
C答案An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth. 说的是一个好的信息展销会可以吸引原本不会去的人，看似一个与measure无关的论断。
谢谢fyhllj的回复，并请继续指教！

此题似乎无套路可言，我也只能根据我的理解判断。请其他高手解释一下吧。

C选项
An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth.

逻辑关系为 看到很多人参加booth => 很多原来不打算参加的人会被吸引过来 => 增加收入
原题提供一项条件：invite best customers => 显得有很多人参加booth
进入上述的逻辑关系

C相当于提供了一个桥梁

我感觉没有那么复杂啊
因为要达到人多的目的嘛，所以先是要求把销售员最好的五个客户带过来，因为是要加强，所以用很简单的一个逻辑，因为有人在看热闹，那么就会吸引更多的人过来看热闹。如果是加强，那么很简单咯，这部分后来跑出来的人如果不是因为前面的若干看客他们是不会出来的。
最后结果是MANAGER的策略很成功啊，呵呵，拍手
其他几个选项和文章的问题好象都没有什么关系啊

以下是引用(C) An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth.]

如果一个信息亭子有很多人去的话，那么他就会吸引很多原来不会来的游客。也就是人气越旺越好做买卖。
