1. Premise: There isrelatively little room for growth in the overall carpet market, which istied to the size of the population. Premise: Most who purchase carpet do so onlyonce or twice, first in their twenties or thirties, and then perhapsagain in their fifties or sixties. Conclusion: Thus as the population ages, companiesproducing carpet will be able to gain market share in the carpet marketonly through purchasing competitors, and not through more aggressivemarketing.
Weaken: Whichone of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the conclusionabove?
--BIBLE WEAKEN NO.3 Prephrase: current stratey forgaining market is not through purchasing competitors, should through aggressivemarketing. Condition could be like C. Wrong. Why D is correct? A is talking about theproducts-floor coverings, no related to competitors B is talking about the remainingmarket share, also no related to competitors C is talking about themergers which r not good n showed decreasing profits. Here does not targetprofits but shares. 反复看了三遍。还有就是ONLYthrough,只要有other methods就可以攻击了。如果没有ONLY,我认为C应该就可以是对的。 D gives another condition that can gain market shares to expel other competitors,like price –reducing.2.
Premise: Scientistsare discussing ways to remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere byincreasing the amount that is absorbed by plant life. Conclusion: One plan to accomplish this isto establish giant floating seaweed farms in the oceans. Premise: When the seaweedplants die, they will be disposed of by being burned for fuel.

Premise: Jennifer: Video rental outlets in Centerville together handled 10,000 fewer videorentals in 1994 than in 1993. The decline in rentals was probably duealmost entirely to the February 1994 opening of Videorama, the first and onlyvideo rental outlet in the area that, in addition to renting videos, also soldthem cheaply.
Conclusion: Brad: There must be another explanation: as you yourself said, the decline was on the order of 10,000 rentals. Yet Videorama sold only 4,000 videos in 1994.
Weaken: Which of the following, if true, would mostseriously weaken the force of the objection that Brad presents to Jennifer'sexplanation?
-- PREP07 CR1 NO.10 Prephrase: another explanation can not explain. Jannifer said is due tonew outlets. Brad said could because new stores. to Weaken Brad’s, answershould be still Videorama. Conditioncould be: Although Videorama just sold 4000, the remaining can be due to thebig amount of cheap rental from Videorama. Answer could be like A. Wrong. A more than >4000 couldbe 4001, still cannot explain the 10,000 B stimulus already saidnew outlets sell, oppose C discount does notdefinitely lead to the significant change to the whole market, unless mentioned D also can’t infer thedramatic change of whole market shares E hear, besides Jannifer’sn Brad’s, option E gives third explanation, which equals to the demand ofweakening Brad’s. In other words, Brad’s cannot explain, in the condition of a third one.有点像解释矛盾时,给出的答案是两者共存的答案;这里就是镜像一下,两者都不对,third condition。变态,但生活中很常见,有木有!!! 4.
