很模糊一道逻辑题

这道题给出的答案是C，可我觉得5个都不是正确答案，NN们指点一下！

In many surveys, American consumers have expressed a willingness to spend up to 10 percent more for products that are ecologically sound. Encouraged by such surveys, Bleach-O Corporation promoted a new laundry detergent, Bleach-O Green, as safer for the environment. Bleach-O Green cost 5 percent more than typical detergents. After one year, Bleach-O Green had failed to capture a significant share of the detergent market and was withdrawn from sale.

Which of the following questions is LEAST likely to be relevant in determining the reasons for the failure of Bleach-O Green?

(A) How effective as a detergent was Bleach-O Green?

(B) How many other detergents on the market were promoted as safe for the environment?

(C) How much more did Bleach-O Green cost to manufacture than ordinary detergents?

(D) To what extent did consumers accept the validity of Bleach-O Green advertised and promoted to consumers?

(E) How effectively was Bleach-O Green advertised and promoted to consumers?

读懂选项，C的意思是这种清洗剂的成本比别的高多少，这个题目中并未提及，也和题目的解答无关，所以是正确选项

谢谢scanberry斑竹的解答。我把题干的意思读错了，LEAST likely to be relevant ，最小限度的相关。我当成相关去了！

不过还是有疑问，OG的题干中经常出现least support/weaken 核心词还是support/weaken；这道题既然C与原文的推倒过程无关，怎么能成为正确答案呢？

题目的要求不就是最不相关的选项么？

题目的要求不就是最不相关的选项么？

偶要再思考一下，我觉得这两者是有区别的，曾经看过某大牛的讲解。

还是偶理解有误，刚才翻到了OG97:

97.Leaders of a miners’ union on strike against Coalco are contemplating additional measures to pressure the company to accept the union’s contract proposal. The union leaders are considering as their principal new tactic a consumer boycott against Gasco gas stations, which are owned by Energy Incorporated, the same corporation that owns Coalco.
Answer to which of the following questions is LEAST directly relevant to the union leaders’
consideration of whether attempting a boycott of Gasco will lead to acceptance of their
contract proposal?
(A) Would revenue losses by Gasco seriously affect Energy Incorporated?
(B) Can current Gasco customers easily obtain gasoline elsewhere?
(C) Have other miners’ unions won contracts similar to the one proposed by this union?
(D) Have other unions that have employed a similar tactic achieved their goals with it?
(E) Do other corporations that own coal companies also own gas stations?

OG的解释：Whether corporations, other than Energy Incorporated, that own coal companies also own gas stations is not directly relevant to whether attempting a boycott of Gasco gas stations will coerce Coalco to accept the contract proposal . Thus choice E is the best answer.

我不知道是我对你的问题的理解出了偏差，还是我对文章的要求理解出了偏差，无关的岂不就是最不相关么？

least support/weaken最好的答案是weaken/support。如果没有weaken/support答案，就是无关项。可能碰到无关项的机会多点，不过若无关项和weaken/support一起出现（我见过），就要选weaken/support

很精彩的总结，偶要找些题目再印证一下！
