GWD3-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?

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

求教这道题目的解题思路，个人觉得比较特殊

答案是A吧，popcorn在所有refreshments销售的比重上升了啊。

D支持的内容是change hurts sales，正好和问题想反啊

不是吧 就是选A啊

A项是说refreshments,不仅仅是指POPCORN,答案是D

这道题我是用排除法做的
首先A就是正确的 结论说是Moviemania是盈利的，毕上年多卖5% A选项说上年点心总共的增长只比去年上升不到5%，正好说明Moviemania是盈利的
B 无关选项 要求support结论：即M是盈利的（在popcorn上） 而与food和beverage比电影票卖的多无关
C无关选项 与个人喜好无关

并且我认为像销售额等等这一类问题，最好是要用数据来支持，仅用消费者的喜好来评判显得不严谨，犯了类似于“相信权威，相信大众”类的错误（个人观点）
D无关选项
Eweaken选项 大前年上升10%，前年上升5% 说明的是M的sales是下降的。
