我大概翻译一下(我也是菜鸟) 题目的意思是说,最近调查人员在询问一些购物者,而且是随意挑选了从F超市出来的人,问他们购物的情况。最近的S超市的价格与F相比没有差别。但是S的总营业额平均高于F5个百分点。尽管如此,结构并没有显示在S购买东西要比F便宜。原因是: A选项,如果一个购物者常常去一家超市购物的话,超市会经常给他们最低的价格。(也就是相当于说百佳超市如果是会员之类的去购物会有一个价格是相对低的) B. 选项是说购物超过20件,S均价会比F低5% (题干中没有提到被调查的人购物多少件的情况) C选项是很多购物者在挑选超市的时候会考虑价格以外的因素.(无关) D. 选项是说S每月给提供的商品数量不一样(无关) E. 选项是说被调查者没有F超市的职员 (无关)
