75. (33198-!-item-!-188;#058&007254) : 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. : Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument above? : A. During the second year after the tax increase, cigarette sales increased by : a significant amount. : B. The information available to consumers on the health risks of smoking : remained largely unchanged in the period before and after the tax increase. : C. Most consumers were unaware that the tax on cigarettes was going to : increase. : D. During the year following the cigarette tax increase, many consumers had : less income, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than they had had in the previous : year. : E. During the year after the tax increase, there was a greater variety of : cigarettes on the market than there had been during the previous year. : ANS:(B) 想請問各位大大，D的解釋是消費者的收入在稅提高後，比在稅提高之前還要少而購買力下降，這樣的話不是就加強了因為稅提高且消費者收入減少故影響到銷售量爬過之前的文章,有看到B的相關解釋是不論在tax increase之前或之後關於health risks 的資訊都不變故support銷量是和after tax price有關~~ 可是我還是有點繞不出來,感覺D選項比較有 most strengthen的感覺~ 希望有強者可以幫忙解惑一下..~~謝謝喔!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.116.16.165
