Today's Practice GMAT Question:
From an article in the Wall Street Chronicle: Sales statistics of major electronics manufacturers with sales in the United States show that 80% of consumer electronics (such as televisions, DVD players, and computers) sold in the U.S. last year were manufactured in China. From an article in Consumer Results Magazine: The results from last year's survey on consumer electronics choices show that while products made in China are still very popular, more and more Americans are buying products made in Japan, Germany, and the United States. These three countries combined account for 38% of products sold in the U.S. last year. For both of the findings to be accurate, which of the following must be true? |
|
(A) | More Americans who do not purchase consumer electronics prefer goods produced in China to those produced elsewhere. |
(B) | Major electronics manufacturers do not limit their production plants to one country, often dividing different stages of manufacturing among plants around the world. |
(C) | Most consumer electronics purchased last year that were not manufactured in China were manufactured and sold in the United States. |
(D) | The average price of a Chinese-manufactured consumer electronics device is lower than that of a device manufactured elsewhere. |
(E) | Major electronics manufacturers sell a higher percentage of Chinese-produced consumer devices than do smaller manufacturers. |
