Q14:

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?

1. Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania’s movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year.
2. Moviemania makes more money on food and beverages sold at its theaters than it does on sales of movie tickets.
3. Moviemania’s customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
4. Total attendance at Moviemania’s movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before. (A)
5. The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.

完全想不出为什么要选A……

爆米花儿上升5%;  观众人数上升不足5% ， 这还不够充分么？好比原来人手一捆爆米花儿， 现在观众人数上升不超过5%，而爆米花儿的销量上升5%以上，说明现在很可能已经是人手一捆半甚至2捆爆米花儿； 哈哈
