16.   Advertiser:
The revenue that newspapers and magazines earn by publishing advertisements
allows publishers to keep the prices per copy of their publications much lower
than would otherwise be possible. Therefore, consumers benefit economically
from advertising.

Consumer: But who pays for the advertising
that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do, because
advertisers pass along advertising costs to us through the higher prices they
charge for their products.

Which of the following best describes how
the consumer counters the advertiser’s argument?

(A) By alleging
something that, if true, would weaken the plausibility of the advertiser’s
conclusion

(B) By
questioning the truth of the purportedly factual statement on which the
advertiser’s conclusion is based

(C) By offering
an interpretation of the advertiser’s opening statement that, if accurate,
shows that there is an implicit contradiction in it

(D) By pointing
out that the advertiser’s point of view is biased（A）


(E) By arguing that
the advertiser too narrowly restricts the discussion to the effects of
advertising that are economic


the answer is A,how to explain?

i chose E

一点个人意见


But who pays for the advertising that pays for low-priced newspapers and magazines? We consumers do


这句话直接反驳了Advertiser的结论。


所以选A.


E选项感觉在说Consumer也觉得广告有好处，但是也有坏处，而Advertiser忽略了坏处。

jnlvo

Advertiser的结尾therefore后引出the advertiser’s conclusion，Consumer回答but就意味要反对the advertiser’s conclusion，but后的内容if true就counters the advertiser’s argument


E至少有两点不好，too narrowly太强的语气词，最主要是没有涉及Consumer argument 的论证结构。
