GWD-12-Q22:
Denoma, a majorconsumer-electronics maker, had a sizeable decline in sales revenue for itsmost recent fiscal year. This resultappears surprising, because electronics retailers report that although theiroverall sales were considerably lower than in the previous year, their salesrevenue from Denoma models actually grew, largely thanks to some innovative andpopular models that Denoma introduced.
Which of thefollowing, if true, does most to explain the apparently surprising result?
A. Becauseof the need to educate the public about its new models’ capabilities, Denoma’sadvertising spending was higher than normal over the period.
B. Forthe period at issue, Denoma’s major competitors reported declines in revenuethat were, in percentage terms, greater than Denoma’s.
C. Asignificant proportion of Denoma’s revenue comes from making components forother consumer-electronics manufacturers.
D. Unlikesome of its major competitors, Denoma has no lines of business outside consumerelectronics to provide revenue when retail sales of consumer electronics areweak.
E. Duringthe period, consumer-electronics retailers sold remaining units of Denoma’ssuperseded models at prices that were deeply discounted from those models’original prices.
答案是C,可以理解,但是E为什么不对呢? 由于DENOMA 的旧MODEL削价卖,所以OVERSALES 是减少的
Oftenpatients with ankle fractures that are stable, and thus do not require surgery, are given follow-up x-raysbecause their orthopedists are concerned aboutpossibly having misjudged the stability of the fracture. When a number offollow-up x-rays were reviewed, however, all thefractures that had initially been judged stable were found to have healed correctly. Therefore, it is a wasteof money to order follow-up x-raysof ankle fracture initially judged stable. Whichof the following, if true, most strengthens the argument? A. Doctors who aregeneral practitioners rather than orthopedists are less likely than orthopedists to judge thestability of an ankle fracture correctly. B. Many ankle injuriesfor which an initial x-ray is ordered are revealed by the x-ray not to involve any fracture ofthe ankle. C. X-rays of patients ofmany different orthopedists working in several hospitals were reviewed. D. The healing of anklefractures that have been surgically repaired is always checked by means of a follow-up x-ray. E. Orthopedistsroutinely order follow-up x-rays for fractures of bone other than ankle bones.
