题目：
In the year following an eight-cent increase in the federal tax on a pack of cigarettes, sales of cigarettes fell ten percent. In contrast, in the year prior to the tax increase, sales had fallen one percent. The volume of cigarette sales is therefore strongly related to the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes.
选项:
A、During the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes did not increase by as much as it had during the year prior to the tax increase.
B、The one percent fall in cigarette sales in the year prior to tax increase was due to a smaller tax increase.
C、The pretax price of a pack of cigarettes gradually decreased throughout the year before and the year after the tax increase.
D、For the year following the tax increase, the pretax price of a pack of cigarettes was not eight or more cents lower than it had been the previous year.
E、As the after-tax price of a pack of cigarettes rises, the pretax price also rises.
答案:
D
提问：
麻烦唐瑭老师帮助解答下，多谢！
我的思路：按照问题定位在最后一句-->最后一句描述sales&after-tax price 的关系-->选项中abcd均为pre tax（E由于无关直接删除），既然都说的pre tax，按照sales和tax的关系，比较后B更合适。
1.选D的原因？按照课上所说，我理解D重点在比较级且是与以前年度比较，最后一句并未提及以前年度。
2.之后碰到这种题目，比如选项只说pre tax，但原文是after tax，考虑最后一句描述sales&after-tax price 的关系，可能还会考虑B，需要纠正的点在哪里呢？
多谢唐瑭老师！
