GWD 1-03 BOLDFACE题，没有确定答案

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 greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.  But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities.  Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.

支持B.

原文有两个strategy. 1) charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product. 2) charge less than the greatest possible price.

B: 前半句的
            a certain strategy指charge the greatest price. 后半句的that strategy指前半句的a certain strategy, 即charge the greatest price. 所以完全吻合原文.

A: 前半句正确. 后半句中course of action endorsed by the argument是指charge less than the greatest possible price, 而第二个boldface是支持 this course of action, 不是the course of action本身. 故错.

C: 前半句正确. 前半句中assumption指technology advances tend to be quickly surpassed, a certain strategy指charge the greatest price. 后半句不应该是cast doubt on that assumption, 应是cast doubt on that strategy.

D: 前半句错. 应该是support of a strategy that argument criticizes, not endorses. 后半句建立在前半句错误上, 错上加错.

E: 前半句正确. 前半句中a certain strategy指charge the greatest price. 后半句的that strategy指前半句中的a certain strategy, 即charge the greatest price, 故错. 后半句应是: explain the reason of a NEW strategy.

恩 有道理 同意A后半句错

请问楼上，也是把原文全部读完再看选项吗 ？

thx a lot

同意b

这题我选的是E，但是搞笑的是我这个版本的答案给的是B。

根据XDF老师GZW的笔记。大写的But等同于however，之前的BF为AW-，后面的BF为AW+，就是前反后支，前面的是文章反对的，后面是文章支持的。第一个在because后面，所以充当证据/原因。所以我选E-- The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.
