22. Following several years of declining advertising sales, the Greenville Times reorganized its advertising sales force. Before reorganization, the sales force was organized geographically, with some sales representatives concentrating on citycenter businesses and others concentrating on different outlying regions. The reorganization attempted to increase the sales representatives’ knowledge of clients’ businesses by having each sales representative deal with only one type of industry or of retailing. After the reorganization, revenue from advertising sales increased.
In assessing whether the improvement in advertising sales can properly be attributed to the reorganization, it would be most helpful to find out which of the following?
(A) What proportion of the total revenue of the Greenville Times is generated by advertising sales?
(B) Has the circulation of the Greenville Times increased substantially in the last two years?
(C) Among all the types of industry and retailing that use the Greenville Times as an advertising vehicle, which type
accounts for the largest proportion of the newspaper’s advertising sales?
(D) Do any clients of the sales representatives of the Greenville Times have a standing order with the Times for a fixed
amount of advertising per month?
(E) Among the advertisers in the Greenville Times, are there more types of retail business or more types of industrial
business?
请教各位大牛们这题为什么会是B，看了答案觉得有些道理，但是又觉得这似乎不能从题中直接推导出来，逻辑的答案不是应该和原文有相关性吗？作者: NicoleYu 时间: 2010-3-30 14:31
