99.     (GWD 12-Q22)
解释
Denoma, a major
consumer-electronicsmaker消费电子制造商, had a
sizable可观
decline in sales revenue for its most recent fiscal财政
year.
This result appears surprising, because electronics retailers reportthat although their overall sales were considerably lower than in the previousyear, their sales revenue from Denoma models actually grew, largely thanks tosome innovative and popular models that Denoma introduced.




Which of the following, if true, doesmost to explain the apparently surprising result?


A. Because of the need to educate the public aboutits new models’ capabilities, Denoma’s advertising spending was higher thannormal over the period.

B. For the period at issue, Denoma’s majorcompetitors reported declines in revenue that were, in percentage terms,greater than Denoma’s
C. A significant proportion of Denoma’s revenuecomes from making components for other consumer-electronics manufacturers.

D. Unlike some of its major competitors, Denoma hasno lines of business outside consumer electronics to provide revenue whenretail sales of consumer electronics are weak.

E. During the period, consumer-electronicsretailers sold remaining units of Denoma’s superseded models at prices thatwere deeply discounted from those models’ original prices.
答案为什么是C不是D呢？A也觉得像！求助！！

C：因为C说D大部分的收入来源于C-E Manu，而且题目中零售商说今年的Overall sales低于去年，这就可以解释为什么D今年的sales下降。所以即使D今年的models卖得比其他家好，但是由于他的收入来源主要来自c e manufacturers，仍然受到今年overall sales 比去年低迷的影响，D的sales revenue 仍然下降。
D：D有没有其他的收入来源于题目无关，因为题中说的是关于其卖c e的收入的

Advertisement is listed under cost, not revenue . . .

The gains made by Denoma in new electronics models were more than

offset by loss in other fractions of Denoma's business.

同问D是哪里不对~
有点想不通了
莫非是和major competitors比，属于无关比较？
