试题详情

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.
 
The argument above requires which of following assumptions?

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:

这道题的逻辑链是 增加8%的税收之后,香烟的销量下降了10%. 在增加税收之前的一年,香烟销量只下降了1%. 所以香烟销量的下降,是因为税收增加. 问结论的前提是什么? 我觉得前提应该是. 不存在税收下降了,香烟的销量反而上升的情况 不理解D的意思. 然后我选的是B也不太懂. 能讲一下这两个选项分别在说什么吗?是怎么样作为前提的
