（C）一个做的很好的booth会吸引很多原本不会来看的访问者。

也就是说，做好这个booth很有用，也就是接着说...也好啦。

呆板彻底

我觉得这道题的干扰在于两个“ first measure ”，因为我对这种极端词first比较敏感，所以我选了a。如果问题不是问 first measure ，而是问booth本身，那答案c就舒服多了。

。。。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?

我选了D，但是没理解为什么不对。我的理解是这样的：

C吸引来的vistitor必须是目标消费者才会有用啊；如果没有潜在消费者，人多也不会带动销售。

D中的客户才是潜在消费者啊，因为他们也和公司对手做生意，所以有机会把订单从对手手中夺来，推动销售。达到老板的目的。请指教。

结合上两楼的问题，题干中最终目的是增加销量more productive in terms of boosting sales,因此销售经理提出的初步方案first measure 是invite them to visit the booth.提问的是supports the prediction，后面的that从句不过是修饰prediction的，也就是support会吸引更多人来这个结论的。
选D应该是加入了自己的设想，况且“有机会把订单从对手手中夺来，推动销售”也只是可能，不能SUPPORT。

个人理解。

let me try:

总思路: 若A->B,B'->C 如果再能提供B=B',则A->C 就成立了

详述如下:

A=First measure

B=instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to visit the booth

B'=Attract more people

C=Sales boosting

要求证: A->C 成立 (即题目要求的加强:first measure will contribute to meeting the goals of boosting sales)

文中告知:

1.A->B

即:first measure was to instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to
visit the booth

2.B'->C

即:To achieve the desired result, Vitacorp’s marketing department will attempt to attract more people to the both

而文中的(c)选项说的就是 B=B'

即:An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth

其中:An information booth that is well attended 就是"instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to visit the booth"的同义转化表达,即是B.

而:attract visitors who would not otherwise have attended the booth就是"Attract more people"的同义转化表达,即是B'.

仅供参考

以下是引用atongmu在2003-9-13 15:11:00的发言：
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?

我们好好的看看问的什么：

第一，support，支持题；

第二，first measure，选项一定要联系first measure=[instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to
visit the booth]；

第三，the goals of boosting sales，什么是goals呢？就是in terms of boosting sales；怎样算是boosting sales呢？首先就是有更多的visitors

first measure里讲到five best customers，这就对应了C选项中的[is well attended] ；而C讲，因first measure而well attended的booth就吸引了more visitors，达到了goals，这就是support

这道题目迷惑我的在 best 上，我开始总觉得这里有什么问题。

(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.

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

那個otherwise...放在中間

該如何翻意阿???

吸引那些参观者，否则他们是不会来的。

对答案C没有问题，就是看到A的时候停留了一下，不是很明白ETS对于A项的解释：

According to choice A, the customers who will be especially invited to attend the booth will not as a result be any better informed about Vitacorp's products, so it gives no reason for thinking that sales to these customers will be stimulated.

请大家帮忙解释一下。
