The computer industry's estimate that it loses millions of dollars when users illegally copy programs without paying for them is greatly exaggerated.Most of the liiegal copying is done by people with no serious interst in the programs.Thus,the loss to the industry is quite small,because____________________________
(A)many users who illegally copy programs never find any use for them
(B)most people who illegally copy programs would not purchase them even if purchasing them were the only way to obtain them
(C)even if the computer industry received all the revenue it claims to be losing,it would still be experiencing financial difficulties
(D)the total market value of all illegal copies is low in comparison to the total revenue of the computer industry
(E)the number of programs that are frequently copied illegally is low in comparison to the number of programs available for sale
我觉得OG的D选项的解释不太对,大家觉得呢?
Th is comparison is faulty: Th e loss is not being considered in the context of total industry revenues but in the context of total sales of programs.
题目里划线前的最后一句就是说,the loss to the industry is quite small. 本来就是针对整个industry谈的,反而没有提及是针对total sales of programs. 我觉得D不对的原因是我觉得这句话放回去就是一句废话。因为用这句话把划线部分补全,就成了,“。。。。。所以,损失在对于整个产业来说就非常小了,因为盗版软件销售的市值跟整个产业的销售来比是非常小的。”相当于重复了划线前的一句话,并不是一个所谓的"因为"。
