12.   Approximately two hundred brands of personal computers are being manufactured, but we currently limit our inventory to only the eight most popular brands. We plan to increase greatly the number of computers we sell by expanding our inventory to include the ten best-selling brands.

Which of the following, if true, points out a major weakness of the plan above?

(A) The capabilities of three most popular personal computers add to be approximately equivalent, with no brand having consistent superiority in all respects.

(B) The seven most popular brands of personal computers account for almost all computers sold.

(C) As the users of personal computers become more sophisticated, they are more willing to buy less well-known brands of computers.

(D) Less popular brands of computers often provide less profit to the retailer because prices must be discounted to attract customers.

(E) The leading brand of personal computer has been losing sales to less popular brands that offer similar capabilities for less money.

答案：B。请教D为啥不可以捏？

这题是问逻辑中的flaw，不是问weaken题。公司打算用增加新品种的方法提高自己的销售量。这其中的flaw很明显：增加一堆卖不出去的杂牌不一定能增加销量。答案E好像是在解答为什么要增加杂牌。跟问题无关。

恩，有道理，而且我刚注意到题目中的目的是plan to increase greatly the number of computers，而不是plan to increase the profit,因此选B不选D。
