Cable-television spokesperson:
Subscriptions to cable television are a bargain in comparison to “free”

consumers, in the end, who pay for the costly advertising the supports “free”
television.

    

 

    

Which of the following, if true, is most
damaging to the position of the cable-television spokesperson?

    

A.     
Consumers who do not own
television sets are less likely be influenced in their purchasing decisions by television
advertising than are consumers who own television sets.

    

B.     
Subscriptions to cable
television include access to some public-television channels, which do not
accept advertising.

    

C.     
For location with poor
television reception, cable television provides picture quality superior to
that provided by free television.

    

D.    
There is as much as advertising
on many cable-television channels as there is on “free” television channels.

    

E.     
Cable-television subscribers
can choose which channels they wish to receive, and the fees.

    

 

1.能不能帮我翻译一下题目的意思；
2.帮我分析一下为什么选D，而不选B。      


                谢谢……

有线电视发言人: 收看付费的有线电视比收看免费的电视要更划算. 大家不要忘记免费电视其实并不免费. 到最后,免费电视还是要消费者来支付高昂的广告来支持其发展.

选D是因为:

如果有线电视与免费电视的广告一样多,对于消费者而言,那么根据有线电视发言人说话的逻辑, 不管是从有线电视还是免费电视那里看到的广告其实对与消费者而言承担的广告费用其实只一样的,与免费电视相比, 消费者还要支付有线电视的费用, 所以, 实际上,如果消费者付费收看有线电视,而有线电视与免费电视的广告一样多,那么消费者支付的费用更多.
