D选项是什么意思?

First paragraph have an statement that" top management decision-sharing may increase the likelihood that firms will adhere to their plans", and the second paragraph think"the relationship may be affected by a firm's strategic" -- The first sentence of the second paragraph doesn't "prove the statement in first paragraph wrong", rather than make it less absolute.

好像有点明白,但E为什么不对呢?还有qualify确定是“限定”的意思吗?请NN指点!

我开始也是选E,后来觉得其实并没有说distinction,只是说了造成后面的distinction的关键在于这个relationship,而如果qualify是修饰描述的意思,那么D应该是正确的,因为是对前面的话的进一步说明。

I suppose that"qualify" means "make (a statement, etc) less general or extreme ".描述这种relationship的具体情况。
不过我还是不能理解E为何不对,请教大家:第二段第一句话中strategic mission (its fundamental approach to increasing sales revenue and market share, and generating cash flow and short-term profits),括号里就是表明了the distinction that two different missions rely on呀??

为什么E不对呢??
作者: nymphl    时间: 2011-1-13 06:45

个人拙见,第二段第一句以However开始,显然表示了与第一段的紧密联系,而且上下两段为转折关系,所以,当问到第二段第一句作用时,应该跟多的是与第一段的联系,而E只是说明了该句话的内容。所以问function时,更多要从文章整体结构出发。
