76. A famous singer recently won a lawsuit against an advertising firm for using another singer in a commercial to evoke the famous singer’s well-known rendition of a certain song. As a result of the lawsuit, advertising firms will stop using imitators in commercials. Therefore, advertising costs will rise, since famous singers’ services cost more than those of their imitators.
The conclusion above is based on which of the following assumptions?
(A) Most people are unable to distinguish a famous singer’s rendition of a song from a good imitator’s rendition of the same song.
(B) Commercials using famous singers are usually more effective than commercials using imitators of famous singers.
(C) The original versions of some well-known songs are unavailable for use in commercials.
(D) Advertising firms will continue to use imitators to mimic the physical mannerisms of famous singers. E
(E) The advertising industry will use well-known renditions of songs in commercials.
76.
If choice E were not assumed, the costs of the services of the famous singers of well-known renditions of songs would not be said to affect advertising costs. Since advertising costs are, however, projected to rise because of the relatively high cost of famous singers’ services, choice E is assumed and is the best answer.
Choice A is irrelevant to the argument, since famous singers’ service cost more than imitators’ anyway. The argument addresses commercials’ cost, not their effectiveness, so choice B is not assumed. The argument assumes that some well-known renditions of songs are available, but does not require that any versions be unavailable (choice C). Since the argument states that advertising firms will stop using imitators, choice D is not assumed.

在选项B与E之间由于。最终还是选错。。。
我觉得B和E都有道理。
原文结论:advertising costs will rise, since famous singers’ services cost more than those of their imitators.
广告费将变高,因为名歌手价格高。
感觉原文有gap,即中间并没有说是否要用名歌手。
如果在原文中补充E.推理链就完整了。
即:公司要用名歌手---〉名歌手要钱多---〉广告费高。(有点像support题)
但是如果选B的话也能建立上面的推理链。只不过多一步。
即:用名歌手的广告更有效,公司要用名歌手---〉名歌手要钱多---〉广告费高。
og说B为无关选项。。。疑惑。。。
盼解答,谢谢xdjm了,先!:)
