A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product.
But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.
Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.



In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?



(A) The first is a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.

(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.

(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.

(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.

答案是C,但是我觉得这两个stratge并不是一个,第一句是解释为什么要 charge the maximum possible price ,但是第二个是 charge less than the greatest possible price.,请赐教

有理,但是用排除法,C是最有可能正确的。

讲讲我的理解:把strategy看得更宽泛一点,即make large profits while they still can,而charge the maximum possible price for such a product可以看作是实现这一strategy的一种具体手段,这也能呼应选项中的“certain”;而presents可以看作是介绍了实际得到应用的那个strategy,S的细节(即手段)则体现在“charge less than XXX”上。

有点强词夺理了,提供一种观点罢。

這題題目是從破解版上抓下來的嗎?boldface的部分我覺得有問題。

我做gmat prep軟體時遇到此題,boldface的部分應為以下,與破解版boldface處有所不同

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product.  But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

請參考看看。

谢谢楼上,总算明白了。破解版那个没一个选项对,当时我就很怀疑呢。

有了楼上的证据,自信心找回了不少:)
