In January of last year the Moviemania chain of movie theaters started propping its popcorn in canola oil, instead of the less healthful coconut oil that it had been using until then. Now Moviemania is planning to switch back, saying that the change has hurt popcorn sales. That claim is false, however, since according to Moviemania's own sales figures, Moviemania sold 5 percent more popcorn last year than in the previous year.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument against Moviemania's claim?
Total sales of all refreshments at Moviemania's movie theaters increased by less than 5 percent last year.
Moviemania's customers prefer the taste of popcorn popped in coconut oil to that of popcorn popped in canola oil.
Total attendance at Moviemania's movie theaters was more than 20 percent higher last year than the year before.
The year before last, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over the previous year.
没看到against!
most strongly supports [the argument against Moviemania's claim]
Moviemanis's claim --> change of oil hurts popcorn sales
The argument against M's claim --> the claim is false --> change of oil does not hurt popcorn sales
=> strengthen change of oil does not hurt popcorn sales.
Choice A: Popcorn increase more than 5%, Refreshments increase less than 5% --> Popcorn is doing better than before comparing to other things
refreshments
[pl.] （在公共活动场所供应或销售的）饮料，小食
drinks and small amounts of food that are provided or sold to people in a public place or at a public event
The year before last（前年）, Moviemania experienced a 10 percent increase in popcorn sales over （比）the previous year（去年）. 前年增长的多
题目要加强反对M的argument，即找出 “换油并没有损害爆米花销售“ ”的选项。A说去年饮料的销售还没有5%，结合文中，爆米花销售超过5%，说明如果没换油可能就与饮料的销售差不多，换了才超过5%，加强；D说来看电影的人增长了20%，但是爆米花销售才涨5%，是削弱；E明显也是削弱，相比前年增长少了5%
加强结论，即改变oil增加了popcorn销量
不懂，题目到底是问加强还是削弱oil的变化对sales带来的影响啊
不懂，题目到底是问加强还是削弱oil的变化对sales带来的影响啊
因果推理，问的是加强。因 M sold 5% more p last year than in the previous year 果 M说的 the change has hurt p sales不对 。A 加强 DE削弱 BC无关。
