Vernon, Inc., a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits, plans to boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon's plan will achieve its goal? (A) Among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon can. (B) Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves. (C) Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied. (D) Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids. (E) Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose time would have been better spent attending to Vernon's core business. 我怎么觉得E选项只是提到了managers,和profits的关系不大呢？我选的是C,为什么C不对呢？ 麻烦各位了！谢谢谢谢！作者: alexlixin 时间: 2011-3-2 01:26
题中的VERNON公司本身就是一个小的制造公司（SMALL），可以理解为它自己就是某一公司（假设为A公司）的独立供应商。这样，根据选项C，VERNON公司显然很难在为A公司生产的该产品上拓展业务，提高利润。
