Smithtown University’s fund-raisers succeeded in getting donations from 80 percent of the potential donors they contacted. This success rate, exceptionally high for university fund-raisers, does not indicate that they were doing a good job. On the contrary, since the people most likely to donate are those who have donated in the past, good fund-raisers constantly try less-likely prospects in an effort to expand the donor base. The high success rate shows insufficient canvassing effort.
Which of the following, if true, provides more support for the argument?
- Smithtown University’s fund-raisers were successful in their contacts with potential donors who had never given before about as frequently as were fund-raisers for other universities in their contacts with such people.
- This year the average size of the donations to Smithtown University from new donors when the university’s fund-raisers had contacted was larger than the average size of donations from donors who had given to the university before.
- This year most of the donations that came to Smithtown University from people who had previously donated to it were made without the university’s fund-raisers having made any contact with the donors.
- The majority of the donations that fund-raisers succeeded in getting for Smithtown University this year were from donors who had never given to the university before.
- More than half of the money raised by Smithtown University’s fund-raisers came from donors who had never previously donated to the university.
NN们偏向A,但A的意思是S大学的fund-raisers成功接触潜在捐款人的频率和其他学校的fund-raiser一样高。并没有说succeeded in getting donations啊。完全是个无关选项嘛,就算有关也是说明这个学校的学生和其他学校的学生一样努力。反而有削弱的意思。问过几个以前XDF和其他GMAT学校的老师,都说是C。
看了以前的讨论的帖子,最终也没有完全得出个确切的结论来。而且几乎没有人对contacts........as frequently as提出过疑问。 |
