In the country of Veltria, the past two years' broad economic recession has included a business downturn in the clothing trade, where sales are down by about 7 percent as compared to two years ago. Clothing wholesalers have found, however, that the proportion of credit extended to retailers that was paid off on time fell sharply in the first year of the recession but returned to its prerecession level in the second year. Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the change between the first and the second year of the recession in the proportion of credit not paid off on time? (A) The total amount of credit extended to retailers by clothing wholesalers increased between the first year of the recession and the second year. (B) Between the first and second years of the recession, clothing retailers in Veltria saw many of their costs, rent and utilities in particular, increase. (C) Of the considerable number of clothing retailers in Veltria who were having financial difficulties before the start of the recession, virtually all were forced to go out of business during its first year. (D) Clothing retailers in Veltria attempted to stimulate sales in the second year of the recession by discounting merchandise. (E) Relatively recession-proof segments of the clothing trade, such as work clothes, did not suffer any decrease in sales during the first year of the recession. 这道题错选了A。 思路如下： 题目问的是为什么在经济不好，衣服卖不动的情况下，第一年零售商还不上钱第二年就能还上了。讲的是零售商还钱的问题。 当时留下的是A,C,D 排除D是因为觉得，即使刺激销售量衣服打折也不能说明能还上钱。可能打折卖1块，纵使家当全卖了也不够。 排除C是因为觉得， 那些本身经济状况就很差的在第一年被淘汰掉以后，剩下的那些没说经济状况如何啊，如果也不咋地，第二年还是得淘汰啊。 A选项当时觉得，即使credit extended，对pay off on time也无太大用处，但最起码跟原文意思接近。所以选了A。

@Tina老师，老师，这道题帮忙讲一下b和c选项呗。主要区别在谓语单复数和后面的to provide 还是providing。主语是两个不可数名词and并列，谓语要用复数么？

@陆旭老师 我想问一下 这里面的数字7是哪里来的呀？我想了一下排除0和它本身应该还有8个呀，不是很明白。

@陆旭老师 为什么这道题选b呀？我把（1）代进去能求出答案，把（2）代入则x=5与题目要求不符，求讲解。谢谢

@陆旭老师 这道题思路是什么呀？应该怎么做呢？

这道数学题 我想问问数学老师为什么我的两个方法答案都不对 首先 我理解这道题是问事件M或者R只发生一个的概率 我的第一个方法就是用M发生*R不发生+M不发生*R发生 这样哪里出错了 需要怎么改呢？ 我的第二个方法是用总体减去M和R同时发生的概率再减去M和R都不发生的概率，这里哪里出错了 要怎么改呢？ 谢谢老师的回答！

@英吉老师 我想问一下这道题A选项错在了哪里，算是犯了什么错误？

@英吉老师 这一道题里的c选项还是不是很明白哪里错了，请问这句话要是怎么改就算对了呢？

@徐小梅老师，徐老师您好，第4)题，我也看到了“至少2人”这个字眼，也是按照至少2人来算的。但我是这么理解的：原来男女共有12个人，先从5个女生中取2个人，保证了至少有两个女生，所以是C5^2; 接着，再让剩下的3个女生和7个男生合并，共10人，取3个人（此时不论男女都可以），是C10^3。然后合起来就是C5^2*C10^3。

为什么4）不能直接用C5^2 *C10^3?先从5个女生中选2人，再从剩下的10人中选3。这样我算出来的是1200。但是按照图片上老师的方法算的是596。很疑惑，求老师解答一下，谢谢！

为什么分子是5 就一定有一个分母是2的三次方有一个分子是1呢？
