For several years, per capita expenditure on prescription drugs in Voronia rose by fifteen percent or more annually.In order to curb these dramatic increases, the ministry of health（卫生部）prohibited drug manufacturers from raising any of their products' prices.Even though use of prescription drugs did not expand after this price freeze, per capita expenditure for prescription drugs continued to increase by a substantial percentage each year.





Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the ministry's action did not achieve its goal?





(A) After price increases were prohibited, drug manufacturers concentrated on producing new medications to replace existing products.


(B) The population of Voronia rose steadily throughout the period.


(C) Improvements in manufacturing processes enabled drug manufacturers to maintain high profit levels on drugs despite the price freeze.


(D) In addition to imposing a price freeze, the government encouraged doctors to prescribe generic versions of common drugs instead of the more expensive brand-name versions.


(E) After price increases were prohibited, some foreign manufacturers of expensive drugs ceased marketing them in Voronia.


我觉得按常识,新药推出,就会涨价,..这个没错
但做GMAT逻辑题,不是只能按给出的线索做推断不能按常识嘛..

既然A没有提新药会导致价格上涨,我们难道不应默认价格不能上涨嘛

而且题干中给的条件是prohibited drug manufacturers from raising ANY of their products' prices...既然是ANY当然应该包括新药旧药.
如果按之前老帖的解释,我觉得题干应该写Any of their old products` prices就合理了..(不过答案也太一目了然了^_^!)

这道题只能说A比其他四个选项更有那么点道理吧
