难易程度：★★
题目题材：餐饮、经营
gre argument 179题目：
The following is a memorandum written by the director of personnel to the president of the Cedar Corporation.
"It would be a mistake to rehire the Good-Taste Company to supply the food in our employee cafeteria next year. It is the second most expensive(2) caterer in the city. In addition, its prices have risen in each of the last three years(1), and it refuses to provide meals for people on special diets(3). Just last month three employees(5) complained to me that they no longer eat in the cafeteria because they find the experience 'unbearable.'(4) Our company should instead hire Discount Foods. Discount is a family-owned local company and it offers a varied menu of fish and poultry(6). I(8) recently tasted a sample lunch(7) at one of the many companies that Discount serves and it was delicious—an indication that hiring Discount will lead to improved employee satisfaction."
提纲：
(1)The director fails to inform us if the prices of other caterers have also been rising through the past years.
(2)The director fails to inform us how much does Discount charge for its services.
(3)The mere fact that Good-Taste charges the second most expensive price and it does not provide meals for people on special diet is insufficient evidence to illustrate that we should not continue to hire the company.
(4)Without clear understanding of what the employees’ word ‘unbearable’ refers to, we cannot unfairly assumes that Good-Taste is responsible for the complaints.
(5)The three unsatisfied employees could hardly constitute a statistically representative sample.
(6)The director fails to investigate if the menu provided by Discount could satisfy people on special diet.
(7)A sample lunch could hardly be representative of all lunches provided by Discount.
(8)The director’s tastes do not necessarily represent the collective tastes of Cedar employees, thus the assumption that hiring Discount will lead to improved employee satisfaction is unwarranted.
注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
