A

看了大N的分析，觉得很震撼啊，那句GMAT喜欢用“时间先后代替因果关系”太经典了

好一朵水仙花

C 吧

Burberryman

厉害的，一开始我也会选B，可能D是我第一个排除的，郁闷...

这边用的 launch! 这是一个新的产品目录。这点被反对B的人和支持b的人忽略了。原本就没有 old format，所以修饰语无所谓了。这里的 houeware catalog default to magazine-like format one.

算是在前面nn的分析的一个辅证。

对于concept的理解，c, d 是有问题的。

hiring --> new magazine-like format clothing design to appeal upscale clientle , then sales jumped

to decide to apply the concept in houseware sales, the fundamental assumption has to be such a "concept" has a chance to succeed in new segment (houseware). there is no mentioning how the two persons contributes to the success, so unlikely the two person play important role in the concept. So, C, D are questionable. 过度从原文引申发展出来的观点鲜少正确。

比较一下，我觉得 B 差不多是众望所归了。。

my two cents.

I am still thinking of A. Since the question emphasizes on "this concept", which is "magazinelike". The sales of clothing increases beacause of this new concept. However, for warehouse catalog, if this concept has already been adopted by competitors, it will not be new, thus the sales of warehouse catalog will not increase...

Anyone, pls challenge or advise...
