Curator: If our museum lends Venus to the Hart Institute for their show this spring, they will lend us their Rembrandt etchings for our print exhibition next fall. Having those etchings will increase attendance to the exhibition and hence increase revenue from our general admission fee.
Museum Administrator: But Venus is our biggest attraction. Moreover the Hart's show will run for twice as long as our exhibition. So on balance the number of patrons may decrease.
The point of the administrator's response to the curator is to question
whether getting the Rembrandt etchings from the Hart Institute is likely to increase attendance at the print exhibition
whether the Hart Institute's Rembrandt etchings will be appreciated by those patrons of the curator's museum for whom the museum's biggest attraction is Venus
whether the number of patrons attracted by the Hart Institute's Rembrandt etchings will be larger than the number of patrons who do not come in the spring because Venus is on loan
whether, if Venus is lent, the museum's revenue from general admission fees during the print exhibition will exceed its revenue from general admission fees during the Hart Institute's exhibition
whether the Hart Institute or the curator's museum will have the greater financial gain from the proposed exchange of artworks
演绎推理
重点 number of on balance 净人数变化
直接对应C
错选B,一开始以为会不会涉及到分流的问题,但是还是没提到数量
这个问题的核心是Hart Institute吸引的游客和Spring吸引游客的数量,所以一定要有两家机构吸引游客数量的对比,这样找只有C提及了两个地方的数量对比。
问题还是集中在the number of patrons上
又错了,感觉原因是自己阅读理解能力不行,句子一拉长意思就模糊了
