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 [url=]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.[/url]
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[url=] patrons who[/url] 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 a credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
(C) In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who [url=]paid bills in cash[/url] did not possess credit cards. [url=](D) [/url]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 a given brand of credit card increases when that credit card's logo [url=]is displayed[/url] on the tray with which the bill is presented.
查了一些论坛,都说B是异因异果加强。就是前提的否定能够推出结论的否定。
但是我对这种解释不能理解。
我认为:B实际上就是原命题的否命题。从数学上说,原命题成立,不能推出其否命题成立,反之亦然。那么B作为原命题的否命题,是怎么起到加强作用的呢?既然他们的成立与否都跟对方无关。
纠结了很久,求指点!
