GWD 5-Q30:

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage.However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods.For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain.Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking.However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.

A.many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life

B.it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has

C.cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods

D.certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is

E.for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

請問 beside the point 是什麼意思? 是不是含貶義? 指''偏離重點'' 嗎?
還有, 請問上面說 no worse in this respect than, 是指在這方面比 cooking 好, 是strength irradiation??
這條答案後面應是負面嗎? 所以是 A?
謝謝大家!

GWD 5-Q31:

Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo.Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies?

A.The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.

B.Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.

C.In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.

D.In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.

E.The percentage of restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.

有沒有人可以幫我看一看這條答案是什麼? 我的檔案列出這條答案是 d. 但不是 b 嗎? 謝謝!
