95.To protect certain fledgling industries, the government of country Z banned imports of the types of products those industries were starting to make. As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers, several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets.
Which of the following conclusions about country Z’s adversely affected export-dependent industries is best supported by the passage?
(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.
(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact that other countries banned imports from country Z.
(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.
(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries. A
(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.
OG 的解释是
When the cost of the products rose, the competitive ability of those export-dependent industries that bought them was sharply limited. This fact strongly supports the claim that those industries did not have sufficiently high profit margins to enable them to absorb the price increase, so choice A is the best answer.
og的逻辑意思： cost of the products rose->competitive ability limited，就可以推出no sufficient high profit margin in those industries
我觉得它应该有一个暗含的环节： cost of the products rose->price of export increased
-> competitive ability limited，才能推出no sufficient high profit margin in those industries
难道说，competitive ability limited就包含price of export increased？
因为文章中没有直接提及profit margin ，如何来确定它是否有关还是无关？ |
