题:investments in service are comparable to investments in production and distribution in terms of ---
A tangibility of benefits that they tend to confer
C basis on which they need to be weighed
原文:investments in service, like those in production and distribution must be balance against other types of investments on the basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues.
根据原文的这句话,我觉得A更正确,无法得出C选项?

加个括号,试翻译

investments in service, like those in production and distribution must be balance against other types of investments (on the basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues.)

在服务上的投资,像那些在生产和配送上的投资一样,一定要与另外一种投资(在直接、实际的利益如减少费用或增加营业额的基础上)相平衡。

另外,同义改写。 on the basis of ~ basis on; weighed~balanced against

C选项的确是对原文的同义改写,但我觉得就原文来看,在选择投资时,要权衡各行业的利润,原文感觉偏向benefits,所以我不知道A为什么错了?

呃。我觉得就是OG那样解释吧。
要不你贴文章出来给大家看看吧。

根据OG解释,我觉得关键在于问题!!
   题目问:服务投资“能够,可以,有能力”与生产、配送投资相比的原因是什么,即,为什么二者可以比?二者的可比性是如何产生,如何实现的?-----C答:是通过它们所需要加以权衡的基础来实现比较的。
   包括我理解成的是:二者是通过什么来“直接进行”对比的。是用什么“手段,方法,方式”来比?------A答:是用tangibility of the benefits来进行比较的。

举一个不知是否恰当的比喻:太阳和灯
   二者可以拿来比较的原因是,它们都有可以为人类提供光亮的能力,该能力使它们可比
   但二者进行对比的方式是:明亮度的大小
个人拙见,敬请各位多多指教!

原文相应部分:
The fact that superior service can generate a competitive advantage for a company does not mean that every attempt at improving service will create such an advantage. Investments in service, like those in production and distribution, must be balanced against other types of investments on the basis of direct, tangible benefits such as cost reduction and increased revenues.

上面这段就是原文的相关内容,我也不明白为什么A不对。
原文明明很明确的提到了must be balanced against ... on the basis of tangible benefits.
即“in service的投资就像in production and distribution的投资一样,必须在tangible benefits的基础上与其他投资进行平衡、权衡”
而问题问的也是
“把in service的投资与in production and distribution的投资相比较”
“in terms of”在下面哪个方面

那不就相当于在“是否有直接利益”这方面进行比较吗?

A应该是最直接的可以从原文找到的答案,而C至少是需要推理一下才能得出的结论。
按照GMAT的原则,原文中有直接表述的应该是首选才对啊。

哪为大NN能够帮忙给个思路,面对这类题目怎么应付啊?

A项是否强调的是两者相似之处在于利益的tangibility ,而实际上文章中的意思是tangible benefits,重点是balance the benefits that is tangible.
