1. GWD-26-Q4Consumers planning to buy recreational equipment tend to buy higher quality, more expensive equipment when the economy is strong than when it is weak. Hill and Dale is a business that sells high-quality, expensive camping and hiking equipment in Boravia. Although all the signs are that Boravia’s economy is now entering a period of sustained strength, the managers of the business do not expect a substantial increase in sales.
Which of the following, if true, would provide the strongest justification for the managers’ judgment? A. A significant proportion of Hill and Dale’s sales are made to customers who enter the store in order to buy one particular item but, once there, find other items to buy as well. B. In Boravia when the economy is strong, those who might otherwise go camping tend to take vacations overseas. C. The economic upturn is likely to allow Boravia’s nati- onal parks, where most of the camping and hiking is done, to receive extra funding to improve their visitor facilities. D. Advances in materials technology have led to the development of hiking and camping equipment that is more comfortable and lightweight than before. E. Many people in Boravia not only are committed to preserving the country’s wilderness areas but also are interested in spending some time in them.
答案是B还是C?我看到两种版本
Though sucking zinc lozenges has been promoted as a treatment for the common cold, research has revealed no consistent effect. Recently, however, a zinc gel applied nasally has been shown to greatly reduce the duration of colds. Since the gel contains zinc in the same form and concentration as the lozenges, the greater effectiveness of the gel must be due to the fact that cold viruses tend to concentrate in the nose, not the mouth.
In order to evaluate the argument, it would be most helpful to determine which of the following?
A. Whether zinc is effective only against colds, or also has an effect on other virally caused diseases B. Whether there are remedies that do not contain zinc but that, when taken orally, can reduce the duration of colds C. Whether people who frequently catch colds have a zinc deficiency D. Whether either the zinc gel or the lozenges contain ingredients that have an impact on the activity of the zinc E. Whether the zinc gel has an effect on the severity of cold symptoms, as well as on their duration
