Last August the XT chain of gasoline stations had a temporary sales promotion in effect In the promotion , any customer who made a purchase of ten or more gallons of gasoline was entitled to a tree car wash . For the month of August , XT experienced a ten percent increase in gasoline sales as compared to sales in August the previous year .so evidently the promotion was successful as a means of boosting sales . In evaluating the argument , it would be most helpful to answer which of the following ? 1A) In the areas in which XT’s gasoline stations operate , how did total combined gasoline sales for all gasoline stations last August compare with sales for the previous August? 2B) Was the money that XT earned from the increase in gasoline sales enough to offset the cost of providing tree car washes during the promotion? 3C) Were there any customers who bought ten or more gallons at an XT gasoline station during the promotion who would have or more gallons at an XT gasoline in lower quantities , but more frequently ,if the promotion had not been in effect? 4D) Did XT or any or its gasoline stations have to pay other businesses to providethe car washes that customers were offered in the promotion? 5E) Are XT’s gasoline sales in August usually significantly higher than one twelfth of XT’s annual gasoline sales ? Ans: C 可以幫忙解釋選項A跟C嗎? 謝謝 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 98.222.57.18 ※ 編輯: wanji 來自: 98.222.57.18 (10/15 09:29)

想知道+1,但我選C~我當初想的是"sales promotions"為重點

這題答案是A吧！

題目問的是promotion有沒有成功boosting the sales

A選項：
10/15 11:07, 5F
→
10/15 11:08, , 6F
若今年八月總合銷量比去年高
10/15 11:08, 6F
→
10/15 11:08, , 7F
代表不論有沒有promotion都會賣得較多
10/15 11:08, 7F
→
10/15 11:08, , 8F
所以promotion未必有用
10/15 11:08, 8F

C選項：

10/15 11:11, , 10F
消費者是因為先屯貨=>八月sales仍然有boosting
10/15 11:11, 10F

10/15 11:11, , 11F
消費者是正常買 => 八月sales的boosting更沒有問題

可是選項A是"the areas in which XT operates"的總銷量

地區的總銷量如何衡量某特定廠商的銷售策略?
10/15 11:34, 13F
→
10/15 11:35, , 14F
該地區的總銷售量成長可能是源自"別家"的銷售策略成功

10/15 11:42, , 15F
相反地，地區衰退也可能是源自"別家"的衰退。

我覺得選項C好一點：
10/15 11:51, 16F
→
10/15 11:54, , 17F
Yes：消費者是為了要free car wash特別選在促銷期間加油
10/15 11:54, 17F
→
10/15 11:55, , 18F
在XT買的油並不會比較多 所以promotion沒有成功 只是讓
10/15 11:55, 18F
→
10/15 11:55, , 19F
消費者轉移加油的時間。
10/15 11:55, 19F

10/15 11:58, , 20F
No：表示這個promotion並不會影響消費者習慣，因此銷售量
10/15 11:58, 20F

的成長就可以歸功於這個promotion。 以上是我的看法^^"

回歸到題目的結論句
10/15 12:01, 23F
→
10/15 12:02, , 24F
the promotion was successful "as a means"
10/15 12:02, 24F
→
10/15 12:02, , 25F
as boosting sales
10/15 12:02, 25F
→
10/15 12:02, , 26F
我的理解是　這邊完全照字面上翻：
10/15 12:02, 26F
→
10/15 12:03, , 27F
promotion成功地做為boosting sales的原因
10/15 12:03, 27F
→
10/15 12:04, , 28F
因此只需要討論「促銷」跟「賣得較多」是否有因果關係
10/15 12:04, 28F
→
10/15 12:05, , 29F
誠然如樓上i大所說的 A選項有可能是別家多賣
10/15 12:05, 29F
→
10/15 12:05, , 30F
但A選項提供了「可能不是promotion造成銷量衝高」
10/15 12:05, 30F
→
10/15 12:06, , 31F
反觀C選項　如樓上i大所說的 「轉移加油時間」
10/15 12:06, 31F
→
10/15 12:06, , 32F
但這邊討論的是促銷「有沒有衝高銷量」
10/15 12:06, 32F
→
10/15 12:07, , 33F
而不是這個promotion對公司有沒有「實質的幫助」
10/15 12:07, 33F
→
10/15 12:08, , 34F
因此我認為C選項是否成立　皆沒有weaken原題結論
10/15 12:08, 34F

10/15 12:08, , 35F
以上是我的看法XD

我覺得s大的思路也很有道理 這題要是考場上遇到肯定糾結

依題目的因果關係去解題還是比較保險，果然CR也是另一種

如果a要正確，應該要再加個讓8月銷售量增減的實際因子

如果僅僅因為how,這樣邏輯不是很連貫，變的要去推測

10/15 20:29, , 44F
C的高頻率與低量，則很明確的直接影響了銷售數量
