The Calex Telecommunications Company is planning to introduce cellular telephone service into isolated coastal areas of Caladia, a move which will require considerable investment. However, the only significant economic activity in these areas is small-scale coffee farming, and none of the coffee farmers make enough money to afford the monthly service fees that Calex would have to charge to make a profit. Nevertheless, Calex contends that making the service available to these farmers will be profitable.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest support for Calex's contention?
(A) Currently, Caladian coffee farmers are forced to sell their coffee to local buyers at whatever price those buyers choose to pay because the farmers are unable to remain in contact with outside buyers who generally offer higher prices.
(B) In the coastal areas of Caladia where Calex proposes to introduce cellular telephone service, there is currently no fixed-line telephone service because fixed-line companies do not believe that they could recoup their investment.
(C) A cellular telephone company can break even with a considerably smaller number of subscribers than a fixed-line company can, even in areas such as the Caladian coast, where there is no difficult terrain to drive up the costs of installing fixed lines.
(D) Calex bases its monthly fees for cellular telephone service in a given region partly on the cost of installing the necessary equipment to provide the service there.
(E) Calex has for years made a profit on cellular telephone service in Caladia's capital city, which is not far from the coastal region.
在A和C之间挣扎了好久，最后还是选了C。答案是A。
觉得A和C都不是很好，也不直接, 都需要imagine的成分。
A 因为闭塞，农民没有办法与外界联系。 只能卖给某中介商（中介商买走，再出去卖给别人。中介商定价，农民必须接受，因为他们没有别的办法卖。>>造成中介商压价，农民收入很低）
如果有了通讯，农民可以卖到外界了，那么就不会再低价卖给中介，而是直接以市场价格卖到外界。农民赚钱多了，就可以付花费了，公司就赚钱了
