GWD5-Q29:  

Over the past five years, the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide that consumers have been switching increasingly to store brands despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.  To attract these consumers back, several manufacturers of name-brand cereals plan to narrow the price gap between their cereals and store brands to less than what it was five years ago.

B

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the likelihood that the manufacturers’ plan will succeed in attracting back a large percentage of consumers who have switched to store brands?

 

A.      There is no significant difference among manufacturers of name-brand cereals in the prices they charge for their products.

B.       Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals.

C.      Many consumers would never think of switching to store-brand cereals because they believe the name brand cereals to be of better quality.

D.      Because of lower advertising costs, stores are able to offer their own brands of cereals at significantly lower prices than those charged for name-brand cereals.

E.       Total annual sales of cereals—including both name-brand and store-brand cereals—have not increased significantly over the past five years.

答案是B，我选的A，请问A为什么不可以削弱？

B说Consumers选择store是因为满足于它的质量，但是name有更好的质量啊。在同样价格下，consumers为什么不可以选择质量更好的？

我觉得你理解错A的意思了

A的意思应该是 这些Name brand cereals生产厂家在产品价格上没有很大的差别。

寒。。。。。确实是看错了，谢谢耗子MM。那这样A就成无关选项了。

但是B怎么能够削弱呢？

B的意思说这些购买商店品牌谷类的顾客满意它们的质量。 我猜是说他们不是因为商店品牌比namebrand便宜才购买的，所以namebrand 减少与商店品牌的差价不能吸引这些已经购买了商店品牌谷类的顾客。说明手段不可行

题目说the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide ........despite the name brands’ reputation for better quality.
也就是说 name-brand cereals有更好的质量和更贵的价格,B说说Consumers选择store是因为满足意它的质量,所以从这两句话是不是更容易推出是因为价格的原因导致消费者买store-brand cereals.
如果是质量导致消费者买store-brand cereals的话,不是和 name-brand cereals有更好的质量矛盾了么?

还是不是很明白,请教?

意思是说以前用名牌的觉得它质量好 价格稍贵也就忍了 现在用了一般牌子 质量也满意 那你名牌降价也不见得能把消费者拉回去 除非说降到和一般牌子一样或者更低

A选项就算你理解错了 也不该选 因为如果照你理解 名牌和一般牌子价差不大 那A就变加强了

红字部分题目中没有提到吧？能合理的推出来么？或者我对选项B的理解有什么问题？我想知道为什么同等价格，更好的质量为什么不能吸引消费者？谢谢，再次请教,

A选项就算你理解错了 也不该选 因为如果照你理解 名牌和一般牌子价差不大 那A就变加强了

A项照我原来的理解：名牌和一般牌子价格相差不大，但消费者选择了一般牌子，推出它继续降价缩小差距没有意义，从而削弱它降价的计划。

题目中说the price gap between name-brand cereals and less expensive store-brand cereals has become so wide，这个应该是evidence，所以不能够削弱的，所以即便A照我的理解也是有问题的。。。。。。

Raymond_GMAT

B说Consumers who have switched to store-brand cereals have generally been satisfied with the quality of those cereals. 意思是消费者已经满足一般商品的质量了，即使名牌（拥有更好的质量）降到一样的价格，也不一定能够吸引消费者去买名牌。这个不一定已经足以说明是削弱，这个我能理解。关键是satisfied 这个词，是不是有隐含的意思：即使出现比宾语更好的名词，也不足以降低或改变对该宾语的原来所赋予的感情？

我觉得吧这个题不要想复杂了~~牵扯上性价比，消费者行为等专业性的东西就更晕了哈
