14. The value of a product is determined by the ratio of its quality to its price. The higher the value of a product, the better will be its competitive position. Therefore, either increasing the quality or lowering the price of a given product will increase the likelihood that consumer will select that product rather than a competing one.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn above?
(A) It is possible to increase both the quality and the price of a product without changing its competitive position. (B) For certain segments of the population of consumers, higher-priced brands of some product lines are preferred to the lower-priced brands.
(C) Competing products often try to appeal to different segments of the population of consumers.
(D) The competitive position of a product can be affected by such factors as advertising and brand loyalty.
(E) Consumers' perceptions of the quality of a product are based on the actual quality of the product.

    

答案要：E，我感觉没有一个可以加强啊？

    

能讲讲吗？谢谢。

15. Because incumbent members of Congress are given a great deal of attention by the news media and because they enjoy such perquisites as free mail privileges and generous travel allowance, incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage over their challengers in elections for the United States Congress.
Which of the following, if true, best supports the claim above?
(A) In the last congressional elections, incumbents met with a large number of lobbyists than did challengers.
(B) In the last congressional elections, 98 percent of the incumbents in the House of Representatives who were seeking reelection won.
(C) Incumbent members of Congress are frequently critical of the amount of attention given to them by the news media.
(D) The support that political action committees provide to challengers for congressional seats often compensates for the perquisites enjoyed by incumbent members of Congress.
(E) Of all incumbent senators surveyed before the last congressional elections, 78 percent said that their challengers did not pose a serious threat to their chances for reelection.

    ans:B,请问E是不是也能加强？

对E取非，就比较明显了


(E) Consumers' perceptions of the quality of a product are NOT based on the actual quality of the product.


取非后显然削弱了conclusion。

B是个fact，E是perception。


用来加强，显然Fact更有说服力，best supports the claim。

tangyi79，谢谢。


请问T14，是加强题，不是削弱题啊，能用加not的办法吗？

tangyi79

E选项在Consumers' perceptions of the quality 和 the actual quality of the product.之间搭桥。如果你看不出来，取非之后，就会发现原题的结论被推翻了。因此E是通过搭桥加强了原题的结论。

那么第15题呢？能详细地讲讲吗？谢谢。

总体的来讲，如果答案中给出某人的想法意见之类的，都不可能是正确答案。


就是经常说得appeal to authority， people。


事实总是比想法更有说服力。


E答案看起来是支持的原文的claim。但是民意调查给出的结果是很难作为直接证据的。


B答案很直接的给出了数据证明了claim。


多遇到这样的题，你自己就能总结出一种感觉了。


一眼就能看出E不对。

tangyi79 ,


In E, surveyed ,pose a serious threat 有点不够加强。如果这样说，是不是加强：


Of all incumbent senators     before the last congressional elections, 78 percent said that their challengers did not pose    any threat to their chances for reelection.
