31. A company’s two divisions performed with remarkable consistency over the past three years: in each of those years, the pharmaceuticals division has accounted for roughly 20 percent of dollar sales and 40 percent of profits, and the chemicals division for the balance.
Which of the following can properly be inferred regarding the past three years from the statement above?
(A) Total dollar sales for each of the company’s divisions have remained roughly constant.
(B) The pharmaceuticals division has faced stiffer competition in its markets than has the chemicals division.
(C) The chemicals division has realized lower profits per dollar of sales than has the pharmaceuticals division.
(D) The product mix offered by each of the company’s divisions has remained unchanged.
(E) Highly profitable products accounted for a higher percentage of the chemicals division’s sales than those of the pharmaceuticals division’s.
C项对，没问题
但这里B选项，如果改成less intense competition，是不是也能作为答案？
还是说因为原文没提到过competition，即是答案合理也不对？
还有E项，有点似懂非懂，OG是说原文没有区分highly profitable products和other products，是不是就是说没有定义什么是highly profitable？

就是要直来直去的，不能有跳跃。原文没有的，合理也不行。是吧

B中我觉得sales和profits之间的关系不一定是由这个行业的竞争导致的。可能是因为别的原因。而且可能40%在pharmacy领域算是很低的利润水平。而60%在chemical算是高利润水平。

This is must-be-true type of question, the easiest of all. The answer

choice has to contain nothing but what have been said in the passage.

Any new information would lead to a wrong answer.
