In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania’s own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania’s claim?
Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year.
Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than it does on sales of movie tickets.
Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
Total attendance at Moviemania’s movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.
The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.
问题分析:A说在这个电影院所有的refreshment销售量的多少,原文谈的是popcorn的销售量,这个说所有的refreshment的销售量,虽然范围不是完全一样,但存在交集,留着。
B说靠卖饮料和食物比卖电影票挣得钱多,没提,干掉。
C说消费者喜欢什么口味的popcorn,很扯的一个选项。
D说上座率多少,文章没有提上座率问题,干掉。
E说前年这个电影院popcorn的销售量比去年增加了10%。
原文说去年比前年买的多了5%,这个选项说前年比去年增加10%,显然没说过(顺便提一下,原文最后一句话是一个已知事实,正确的驳斥答案不可能驳斥原文的已知事实,否则就成抬杠型的选项了,例如:原文说A和B两组人,A抽烟,B不抽,进行了20年的跟踪调查,发现A得癌症了B没有得,所以认为是抽烟导致癌症的,如果有一个答案说也没有A这组人,也没有B这组人,A也没有抽烟,世界上根本就没有烟存在,世界本来就一片虚无,这个选项如果你敢选我就佩服你,抬杠型的选项!)
