The condensed sauces will be marketed as pro-environment since the manufacturer will be able to reduce the amount of packaging required for an equivalent amount of non-condensed sauce. The manufacturer also claims that it will also be able to reduce the amount of packaging required to ship the sauce, and correspondingly reduce the energy consumed to transport the sauce to supermarkets since the condensed sauces will be lighter per unit. Many market analysts believe that the new condensed sauces could become more popular than the older, non-condensed sauces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction made by the market analysts?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Consumers, in general, are guided by environmental considerations when making a purchase decision about a sauce.<\/p>\n<p>B. Supermarkets will give the condensed sauces the same degree of visibility on shelves as they do the traditional, non-condensed sauces.<\/p>\n<p>C. Some analysts estimate that consumers of the condensed sauces may end up paying more per unit of sauce consumed than they would have for non-condensed sauces.<\/p>\n<p>D. Consumer research shows that consumers might be initially reluctant to purchase the condensed sauces.<\/p>\n<p>E. Other sauce manufacturers are unlikely to respond with their own condensed sauces any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/ragct-2015-day-8-the-leading-manufacturer-of-bottled-sauces-202190.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- A\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/div>\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:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;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 If is a positive integer, is (1) (2) is a prime number &nbsp; Question Discussion &amp; Explanation Correct Answer &#8211; A\u00a0&#8211; (click and drag your mouse to see the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[152,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gmat-tests","category-gmat","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30305"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30312,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30305\/revisions\/30312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30305"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
