*83. Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.

Which of the following, if true, provides most support for the view that Mammoth Industries cannot increase its sales of telephones by adopting the plan outlined above?

(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries’ share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year.
(B) Mammoth Industries’ average inventory of telephones awaiting shipment to retailers has declined slightly over the last year.
(C) Advertising has made the brand name of Mammoth Industries’ telephones widely known, but few consumers know that Mammoth Industries owns this brand.
(D) Mammoth Industries’ telephone is one of three brands of telephone that have together accounted for the bulk of the last year’s increase in sales.
(E) Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries’ telephones have fallen in the last year.

各位好，我是新手，請教這一題該怎麼看，我第一次看覺得是支持，就做對了，現在再看，覺得好像是削弱才對，感覺A也不賴呀

我的理解如下................ :-$

83. Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year. In order to take advantage of this increase, Mammoth Industries plans to expand production of its own model of telephone, while continuing its already very extensive advertising of this product.

題目問你下列何者best support for the view that M cannot increase its sales by adopting the plan outlined above.

要否定M在題中敘述的方法之可行度


(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries’ share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year. 則表示 它們的商品是暢銷的 生產多一點 則可賣多一點sales increase

(E) Despite a slight decline in the retail price, sales of Mammoth Industries’ telephones have fallen in the last year. 價錢下降了 M的商品銷售下降 則表示他們的東西沒人要(則weaken題中M指出的方法expand production 沒人要買的東西大量生產??? 誰買 )

大膽冒昧一問 請問agk99是agk99嗎

厚
我就不能說我是新手喔
想謙虛一點都不行

單然不行

害我跟金剛妹都提著心臟害怕耶

但是今天真開心 讚 (Y)

可是我覺得e根本不只是weaken,根本就把題目完全改過來啦~
這樣不是很奇怪嗎?
就也沒提到advertisement有沒有用,對expanding production做出的指證就很無冤無故
我的感覺起來.. e好像就很沒道理的把題目糾正了....
像是題目說A=B
阿答案就只是說A不=B,所以weaken.... @@
是我想太多嗎?

(A) share <> sales; share下降不影響sales上升,增產可能賣更多,提升sales
(B) 庫存下降正說明增產可能賣更多
(C) 跟brand無關
(D) sales上升,增產可能賣更多
(E) 降價sales仍下滑,增產可能導致價格更低,對sales不見得有益

我自己看此題時，看到第一句
Sales of telephones have increased dramatically over the last year.
我就認為這是個前提，也是事實，沒想到答案要完全顛覆本來的前提，
在我看來，這題目不是要問說:"儘管去年sales increased dramatically,
M公司採取增產與增加廣告的方法來增加銷售量，為什麼不會成功"。
如果是這樣的話，不就是再討論增產以及增廣告不可行的原因，
結果我都找不到一個合適的答可選 ....這種題型是常態嗎?該如何應對?
不知道大家做題目作比較多的，
可否提點一下，感激不盡。

否定前提也是弱化的一種方式.(但是不要去否定結論)

否定前提也是弱化的一種方式.(但是不要去否定結論)

這裡的sales of telephones have increaded dramatically over the last year.應該不是指Mammoth Industries的電話銷售吧?!
這樣答案不就變成跟題目所述前提或已存在事實相違背了?
我覺得sales of telephones have increaded 是指整體(所有公司,而不是單指M公司)的電話銷售
所以...雖然整體的電話銷售去年是增加的,
但是Mammoth的電話銷售去年卻下降(儘管它價錢下降),
表示他們的東西賣的不好
所以計劃才不可行

不曉得這樣的理解對嗎?有錯請指正...

[alisonc]

我的想法和greecechii一樣
是不是第一句的sales是指整體產業的sales increase呢?
不過這樣還真的挺tricky

[chencraig0227]

整體銷售上升的趨勢去年就開始了! 現在M公司打算利用順風車增加銷量...
只要證明去年M公司銷量是下降的 就可以知道順風車是台爛車!

中間差一段advertisement是一個assumption
假設現在跟去年公司的作為(條件)都是一樣的! M公司只是預測現在會上升(邏輯點)!

其實這一題的邏輯很簡單! 就是因為太簡單所以顯得毫無邏輯!! 反而難猜!!

(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries’ share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year

對不起 我對這選項還是不懂

意思是說 雖然M公司賣他們所自己製造的產品 但是所有電話的銷售在去年還是下滑

share of all telephone 是說電話的股份還是電話的市佔率

而且哪裡錯?? 我對這提選項很模糊

(A) Although it sells all of the telephones that it produces, Mammoth Industries’ share of all telephone sales has declined over the last year

產品全部賣光,市佔率是降低的, 這是support的選項
因為可藉助多生產,多廣告提高市佔率
對不起 我對這選項還是不懂

意思是說 雖然M公司賣他們所自己製造的產品 但是所有電話的銷售在去年還是下滑

share of all telephone 是說電話的股份還是電話的市佔率
是產品的市佔率


而且哪裡錯?? 我對這提選項很模糊
