Q65.    (35041-!-item-!-188;#058&007595)

Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.

Which of the following, if true, provides most support for the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales of telephones by adopting the plan outlined above?

(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries' share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year.
(B) Mammoth Industries' average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year.
(C) Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries' telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth Industries owns this brand.
S(D) Mammoth Industries' telephone is one of three brands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the last year's increase in sales.
(E) Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries' telephones have fallen in the last year.
答案是E
take advantage of the increase指的是什么意思？ 这怎么就成了扩大生产和做广告的目的了呢？绕不明白了~请教！

take advantage of the increase这里是说借着这个increase的机会，题目的逻辑因为去年telephones的销售大幅度增加，所以Mammoth Industries 要利用这个机会去expand production，因为Mammoth Industries 相信在这种大幅度销售增加的趋势下，他们的新产品也能分一杯羹。
