prep2-23

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product.  But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

 

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

 

(A) The first is a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.

(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.

(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.

(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.

为什么是C??consideration该怎么理解?

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.D的分析看出来前面那个不是作者承认的strategy只是那些公司采用的,因为他们的方法不好,所以才引出了后面作者的strategy(提高利润)

(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.后面都是对的,只是assumption(结论成立必须假设的前提)不对,但是其实不是假设,而是事实,后面的strategy是作者提供的新策略

(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.

意思就是作者只承认了一个strategy而已

我也觉得说的是同一个strategy,不合原意阿

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.

这里好像说的是同一个strategy,可是我觉得原文中不是同一个strategy啊。 many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product.这是第一句话,说要收取最大可能能收到得钱。这是第二句 the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.说要收取低于最大可能得钱。

我怎么觉得这两个不一样呢,nn给我解释一下吧

Consideration有两个意思(具体看选项中的上下文,很容易判断是哪个意思):

  “考虑因素”,包括:Evidence/Fact

  “结论”,包括:Conclusion/Inference

A后错

B前错

D不是assumption

E后错
