问题 Advertisers are often criticized for their unscrupulous manipulation of people’s tastes and wants. There is evidence, however, that some advertisers are motivated by moral as well as financial considerations. A particular publication decided to change its image from being a family newspaper to concentrating on sex and violence, thus appealing to a different readership. Some advertisers withdrew their advertisements from the publication, and this must have been because they morally disapproved of publishing salacious material. Which one of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument?

选项 A、The advertisers switched their advertisements to other family newspapers.
B、Some advertisers switched from family newspapers to advertise in the changed publication.
C、The advertisers expected their product sales to increase if they stayed with the changed publication, but to decrease if they withdrew.
D、People who generally read family newspapers are not likely to buy newspapers that concentrate on sex and violence .
E、It was expected that the changed publication would appeal principally to those in a different income group.

答案C

解析 本题的5个选项中,(A)、(B)、(D)和(E)4个选项都不能从本题的论述中合理地推出。(C)选项的内容表明那些广告商即使在蒙受经济损失的情况下,依然撤走了他们的广告,这就充分证明了他们此举不是出于财政上的考虑,而是在道义上不赞成该刊物刊登猥亵的内容。因此(C)是正确答案。
