[讨论]GWD-17-Q30答案错误 GWD-17-Q30
In a study conducted in Pennsylvania, servers in various restaurants wrote “Thank you” on randomly selected bills before presenting the bills to their customers.
Tips on these bills were an average of three percentage points higher than tips on bills without the message.
Therefore, if servers in Pennsylvania regularly wrote “Thank you” on restaurant bills, their average income from tips would be significantly higher than it otherwise would have been.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?
A The “Thank you” messages would have the same impact on regular patrons of a restaurant as they would on occasional patrons of the same restaurant.
B Regularly seeing “Thank you” written on their bills would not lead restaurant patrons to revert to their earlier tipping habits.
C The written “Thank you” reminds restaurant patrons that tips constitute a significant part of the income of many food servers.
D The rate at which people tip food servers in Pennsylvania does not vary with how expensive a restaurant is.
E Virtually all patrons of the Pennsylvania restaurants in the study who were given a bill with “Thank you” written on it left a larger tip than they otherwise would have.
答案是B。但是B中说的顾客暗指"regular patron"。但是B对于"occational patron"根本就不起任何作用。那么在所有的"patron"中，是"regular patron"占多数，还是"occasional patron"？不知道！！！所以B充其量可以strengthen结论，但是还不够格作为assumption。
再来看E：
E说“收到thank you bill的顾客最后给的小费比他们起初打算给的要多”。多么漂亮的比较啊！！如果对E取非，就变成了“不管bill上写不写thank you，顾客给的小费都是一样多”。既然是这样，那还写"thank you"干什么？反正小费都是一样一样一样的！
E不成立，结论必不成立！

我觉得
E选项说得是写和不写的区别,
B是随机写和经常写的区别,但是题目里面的推论是:随机写几张--平均小费增加 推出 经常写的话.小费会有很可观的增加
E可作为无关选项
不知道是不是这样理解,呵呵

e 说几乎所有收到thank u bill的顾客都给的多，但不能代表是thank u起的作用啊。可以是别的原因。
B说经常看到thank u也不会使顾客回到以前给tip的习惯，意思是 thank u 改变了顾客给tip的习惯，所以正是选项。

we can find these words in the choice E:Virtually all patrons of the Pennsylvania restaurants in the study who were given a bill with “Thank you” written on it left a larger tip than they otherwise would have.
I think E is right.
come on lawyer. where r u ?

这个题我觉得E也是有可能对的，因为如果这些看到“thank u”的人不多给小费还是不能得到结论的。迷惑

把E取非是Virtually not all patrons left larger tip， 假设有一半larger一半持平，tip 还是上升，argument 并没有 fall apart，所以E不对。
