22. GWD-18-Q38

A survey of entrepreneurs who started companies last year shows that while virtually all did substantial preparatory research and planning, only half used that work to produce a formal business plan.  Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed.

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

 

A.      Companies started by entrepreneurs who had used formal business plans to attract investment were on the whole as profitable in their first year as were companies started by entrepreneurs who had not produced such plans.

B.       In surveys of entrepreneurs who have attempted without success to raise sufficient capital, more than half of the respondents indicate that they have produced a formal business plan.

C.      Among the entrepreneurs surveyed, those who did not produce formal business plans sought and received a much larger proportion of their capital from investors with whom they had a long-standing business relationship.

D.      The entrepreneurs surveyed who did not produce a formal business plan spent nearly as much time doing preparatory research and planning as the entrepreneurs who produced plans.

E.       The entrepreneurs who produced business plans generally reported later that the process of writing the plan had increased their confidence that their company would succeed.

 

正确答案为：C

文中说的是“那些正式计划并不能帮助企业家得到所需要的资金”，既然是weaken，那么就是应该说计划能帮助企业家获得资金。

C中说的是不做计划的企业家获得更多的资金，这不是支持了文中的结论了吗？

请分析一下，谢谢……

原文中:Since, on average, the entrepreneurs without formal plans secured the capital they needed in half the time of those with plans, these survey results indicate that, in general, formal plans did not help the entrepreneurs who produced them to secure the capital they needed.

意思是:不做计划的企业家和做计划的企业家都得到了他们所需的资金,但不做计划的只用了一半的时间----调查表明,做计划并没有为企业家获得他们所需的资金提供帮助

C选项说:不做计划的企业家们,他们所得来的资金更大的部分是来源于他们的长期客户(老客户).也就是说,做计划的企业家所得来的资金更大的部分是从新客户得来的.所以杰伦是做计划可以帮助企业家获得资金,削弱原文结论
