qualify - to add to something that has already been said, in order to limit its effect or meaning.以上是LONGMAN字典的其中一個解釋，套進去D選項就可以明白這句話百分之百對。因為他正是去限縮第一段講的理論，認為第一段的理論實際上是受情境所影響與限縮的(limit its effect)。


E選項沒辦法提供這個此句子一開頭的轉折(However)語氣，而著重在後方的內容 (its fundamental approach to increasing sales revenue and market share, and generating cash flow and short-term profits)而沒有含括整句話的態度與功能，沒錯E的敘述不能算錯，但too specific。畢竟However, the relationship between top management decision-sharing and adherence to plans may be affected by a firm’s strategic mission在整句話的地位上絕對比(its fundamental approach to increasing sales revenue and market share, and generating cash flow and short-term profits)還要重要。


題目問的是功能(function)，而非細節(mentioned)，功能必須考量到作者的態度。However這個態度沒有被E所捕捉。
