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 creditcard logo. Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many creditcard 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?

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies?
AThe effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.
B Patrons who are under fi nancial 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 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 a given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is presented.
正确答案是B,但是我对E存疑,这道题的逻辑链很明确:前提:当账单上有信用卡logo的时候,用现金付款的顾客会留更多的消费
结论:心理学家推测这些信用卡的持有者单单是看到信用卡的logo就更乐意花费多一些,因为logo提醒他们他们的购买力超过了他们现在手头上能用的现金
问加强。
除了B选项,其他的选项也看以直接看出没有办法选择,但是个人感觉B选项有削弱的意味,因为原文说当信用卡持卡人看到logo就会多付钱,但是选项说的是当某部分人看到这个logo就会少付钱,这样不是有削弱的意味吗?求大牛解释~~
Amphibian populations are declining in numbers worldwide. Not coincidentally, the earth’s ozone layer has been continuously depleted throughout the last 50 years. Atmospheric ozone blocks UV-B, a type of ultraviolet radiation that is continuously produced by the sun, and which can damage genes. Because amphibians lack hair, hide, or feathers to shield them, they are particularly vulnerable to UV-B radiation. In addition, their gelatinous eggs lack the protection of leathery or hard shells. Thus, the primary cause of the declining amphibian population is the depletion of the ozone layer.
Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument EXCEPT:
(A) Of the various types of radiation blocked by atmospheric ozone, UV-B is the only type that can damage genes.
(B) Amphibian populations are declining far more rapidly than are the populations of nonamphibian species whose tissues and eggs have more natural protection from UV-B.
(C) Atmospheric ozone has been significantly depleted above all the areas of the world in which amphibian populations are declining.
(D) The natural habitat of amphibians has not become smaller over the past century.
(E) Amphibian populations have declined continuously for the last 50 years.
您顺便能帮我解释下这道题为什么答案是A而不是D吗~~
