GMAT Argument 140重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared in a memorandum from the business planning department of Avia Airlines:
“Of all the cities in their region, Beaumont and Fletcher are showing the fastest growth in the number of new businesses. Therefore, Avia should establish a commuter route between them as a means of countering recent losses on its main passenger routes. And to make the commuter route more profitable from the outset, Avia should offer a 1/3 discount on tickets purchased within two days of the flight. Unlike tickets bought earlier, discount tickets will be nonrefundable, and so gain from their sale will be greater.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

在那一地区的所有城市中,Beaumont和Fletcher在新企业数量方面增长最快。因此,Avia应该建立两个城市间的通勤航线,作为应对最近主要乘客航线的损失的办法。为了让通勤航线一开始就获利更多,Avia应该给起飞前两天内购票的人提供1/3的机票折扣。不像更早购买的票,通勤票将是不可退票的,因此从销售中得到的利润会更大。
