Because such rotating shelves would have just the same sort of drawback, since things would fall off the shelves' edges into the rear corners.<\/p>\n<p>Which of the following is presupposed in the argument against introducing rotating shelves?<\/p>\n<p>(A) Refrigerators would not be made so that their interior space is cylindrical.<br \/>\n(B) Refrigerators would not be made to have a window in front for easy viewing of their contents without opening the door.<br \/>\n(C) The problem of spoilage of refrigerated food is not amenable to any solution based on design changes.<br \/>\n(D) Refrigerators are so well designed that there are bound to be drawbacks to any design change.<br \/>\n(E) Rotating shelves would be designed to rotate only while the refrigerator door was open.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/cr-fridge-design-16046.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color:#fff;color:#fff\">- A -<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=blog&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math (PS) If , what is the last digit of ?
