问题 In a recent advertisement, a major cereal company contended that the better educated people are, the more likely it is that as children they regularly ate oatmeal. As evidence, the company cited a national random survey of college graduates in which four-fifths of all those surveyed reported having eaten oatmeal at least once a week when they were young. Which one of the following is an additional piece of information that would support the cereal company’s conclusion?

选项 A、Four-fifths of all current college graduates eat oatmeal regularly.
B、Fewer than four-fifths of those without a college degree ate oatmeal regularly when they were children.
C、Among people who have additional education beyond college, four-fifths ate oatmeal regularly when they were children.
D、More than four-fifths of the population at large—college graduates and nongraduates combined—ate oatmeal regularly when they were children.
E、Those college graduates who did not eat oatmeal regularly when they were children did eat oatmeal on an occasional basis.

答案 B

解析 谷物公司用一个正面例子,即被调查的大学毕业生中有4/5的人在他们年幼的时候经常吃燕麦粥来证明它的结论。若谷物公司能从反面即没有取得大学学位的人在年幼时吃燕麦粥的比例不到4/5来证明它的结论,它的结论将更加完美。(B)给了这样的例证,因此(B)是正确答案;(D)选项对谷物公司的结论构成了反对;(A)、(C)和(E)都是无关选项。
