GMAT Argument 4重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared in an announcement issued by the publisher of The Mercury, a weekly newspaper:
“Since a competing lower-priced newspaper, The Bugle, was started five years ago, The Mercury’s circulation has declined by 10,000 readers. The best way to get more people to read The Mercury is to reduce its price below that of The Bugle, at least until circulation increases to former levels. The increased circulation of The Mercury will attract more businesses to buy advertising space in the paper.”
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.

由于一份5年前出现的低价竞争的报纸,The Bugle,Mercury 的发行额下降了1000份。争取读者的最好方法是至少在发行额恢复以前的水平前把Mercury的价格订的低于Bugle的价格。Mercury增长的发行额会吸引更多的企业来购买报纸的公告版面。
