Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies? - The effect noted in
the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards. - Patrons who are under financial pressure from their
credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
Note: We are talking about the psychology here,.... Author argues that when somebody sees the logo, it reminds him that he owns a credit card and his spending power is actually more than the cash he has in his wallet so he can afford to tip more..
The arguement of this psychological thinking can be strengthen if we present a similar case when a customer reacts to the similar psychological situation. This is presented in B...
B suggests that if patron is in debt of the credit card company, he pays less tip when he see the credit card logo simply because when he sees the credit card it reminds him of the debt he owe to the company and thus wants to save money of the tip to repay the debt... - In virtually all of
the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards. - In general,
restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card. - The percentage of
restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.

Kate: The recent decline in numbers of the Tennessee warbler, a North American songbird that migrates each fall to coffee plantations in South America, is due to the elimination of the dense tree cover that formerly was a feature of most South American coffee plantations. Scott: The population of the spruce budworm, the warbler’s favorite prey in North America, has been dropping. This is a more likely explanation of the warbler’s decline. Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls Scott’s hypothesis into question? - The numbers of the
Baltimore oriole, a songbird that dose not eat budworms but is as dependent on South American coffee plantations as is the Tennessee warbler, are declining. - The spruce-budworm
population has dropped because of a disease that can infect budworms but not Tennessee warblers.
Note:不他的话不矛盾 - The drop in the
population of the spruce budworm is expected to be only temporary. - Many Tennessee
warbler have begun migrating in the fall to places other than traditional coffee plantations. - Although many North
American songbirds have declined in numbers, no other species has experienced as great a decline as has the Tennessee warbler.
