Travel agents are market intermediaries who make their living by gather Ing, organizing,and dispensing information about travel-related services that is not readily available to most consumers through new information technologies , such as the internet much of this information can now be made directly available to consumers demand for the services of travel agents will be drastically reduced Which of the following ,if true , most seriously weakens the argument ? 1) Travel agents routinely use the internet and other new information tech- nologies as sources for the information they obtain for their customers . 2) The amount of information available through the internet and other new information technologies is increasing faster than the capabilities of most consumers to process it 3) Many people use travel-related services, such as airlines and hotels without consulting a travel agent . 4) The people who currently use the services of travel agents are also those most likely to gain access to new information technologies 5) The internet and other new information technologies are currently used by a relatively small proportion of the population --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Last August the XT chain of gasoline stations had a temporary sales promotion in effect In the promotion , any customer who made a purchase of ten or more gallons of gasoline was entitled to a tree car wash . For the month of August , XT experienced a ten percent increase in gasoline sales as compared to sales in August the previous year .so evidently the promotion was successful as a means of boosting sales . In evaluating the argument , it would be most helpful to answer which of the following ? 1) In the areas in which XT’s gasoline stations operate , how did total combined gasoline sales for all gasoline stations last August compare with sales for the previous August? 2) Was the money that XT earned from the increase in gasoline sales enough to offset the cost of providing tree car washes during the promotion? 3) Were there any customers who bought ten or more gallons at an XT gasoline station during the promotion who would have or more gallons at an XT gasoline in lower quantities , but more frequently ,if the promotion had not been in effect? 4) Did XT or any or its gasoline stations have to pay other businesses to provide the car washes that customers were offered in the promotion? 5) Are XT’s gasoline sales in August usually significantly higher than one twelfth of XT’s annual gasoline sales ? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (30 of 41) Several ancient Greek texts provide accounts of people being poisoned By honey that texts suggest was made from the nectar of rhododen- Dron or oleander plants. Honey made from such nectar can cause the Effects the texts describe, but only if eaten fresh, since the honey loses Its toxicity within a few weeks of being made. In Greece, rhododendrons And oleander bloom only in springtime, when they are the predominant Sources of nectar. 1) There are no plants that Greece in ancient times that produce more nectar than rhododendrons or oleanders do. 2) In areas where neither rhododendrons nor oleanders grow, honey is Never poisonous. 3) A beebive’s honeycomb cannot have some sections that contain toxic Honey and other sections that contain nontoxic honey 4) The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts Occurred in the sptingtime or in the earlysummer 5) Whether the honey in a beehive is toxic depends solely on which plants Were the source of that was used to make the honey. I don't know what kind of this question. Maybe asking about which one to support. My answer: D,A,E |
