Q3:
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.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.
B. The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.
C. The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.
D. The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.
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.

Q3: B.
Q22: E.
Boldface (BF) questions are actually quite simple. Make sure you read and understand the paragraph and its line of reasoning. Then look at one BF sentence, determine it's function, browse the answer choices and eliminate all those that doesn't correctly describe the function of this BF sentence. Next, look at the other BF sentence, determine it's function, and browse the rest of the answer choices and pick the right one.
请问Question 3, choice B "appeal", how to translate it?
thanks
to determind：
我的理解是这样，第一句话前有BECAUSE，那么可以认定这句话表示一个原因。第二句话前有BUT，那么可以认定根据这句话推出的内容（结论）和前面的内容有转折，肯定不一致。参照答案，我选B。
"Appeal" here should mean "attraction, benefits".

Morgan, thanks.
Could I think that the first sentence is a correct statement, and the mistake takes place in the second sentence?
Therefore,
If the second sentence omits the word “oppose” to become “the second states the position that the city official’s argument.” then the answer C will be right?
Am I right?

Regarding 1-Q3 and the answer A, The corresponding eaplaination to the first text is reasonable. However, the second test is actually a reason for the action that suggested by the arguer.

"D. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument."
'the first'是critics的结论，并非去support结论的论据；同理the second也错。
i choose d too
to laihong：我觉得consideration就是理由或者解释的意思吧。不过我一直很想问有没有人选D啊。我做了两遍还是就想选D,因为第二句话和本题的结论不应该是against的意思吧，是进一步解释在"charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product"后由于市场的反映进一步的举动，在"large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product’s capabilities"后只是价格根据供求平衡降到最佳的地方，就像最后一句形容的结果：Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.所以总之第二句话应该是进一步解释事情的发展而已，不能是call into question题目中的stradegy吧。
说得我自己都晕了～～各位大侠能不能指点一下
ETS sucks!
If you look up a dictionary, you will know that consideration means a fact that you think about when you are making a decision.
Therefore, if you substitute 'fact' for 'consideration' in GWD1-3, you will find B to be so correct.
By the way, does it mean that assumption can never be a correct answer in Boldface?
conclusion 和conclusion of argument 中文意思有什么不同啊?
还有经常出现在提干中的argement 是论点还是论据的意思???

In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?
City Official: At
Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care.---（Critics of the hospital have concluded 根据以上数据单方作出结论----对应The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics）
However, this conclusion is almost certainly false. ( 反对意见的提出基于第三方的Careful investigation has recently shown two things: insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.-----此数据的表达与city official或Critics of the hospital 的相比带有明显倾向性----对应the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes.）
所以我认为答案为--C
这个太赞了!~~~新手上路就这么猛~
By the way, does it mean that assumption can never be a correct answer in Boldface?
i truely very want to ask this question tooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~
我对C的理解是，The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy;没有错误，错是错在后面半句the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption。 large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities. 并没有对technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed 进行怀疑。只是说明了技术进步被surpassed的原因是由large profit造成的。所以说明不应该charge highest price,因为价格越高，竞争者越多，技术就越容易被别人超越。由此得出与第一种strategy即many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product的相反结论the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
我认为如果把后面一句话改成the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that strategy（而不是assumption)。此答案就是正确的。

Q3:
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.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A. The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.
B. The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.
C. The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.
D. The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.
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.
一、题干四句话分析如下：
A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. 第一句话，摆出一个事实作为论述的前提。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. 第二句话，基于第一句话所论述的前提和本句because后所列的两个考虑因素，得出一个结论：即许多公司采取的一个行动策略。But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities. 第三句话，分析指出如果执行上述行动策略，将给公司造成不利。Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price. 第四句话，最后得出一个改进后的行动策略，也即是大结论。
二、选项分析如下：
A. The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument. The first 不是 an assumption, 而是对事实的一个判断；The second 没有提出一个行动策略，而是分析前文提出的行动策略将带来的结果。因此本项错。
B. The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy. 本项描述最准确。
C. The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption. The first 不是 an assumption, 而是对事实的一个判断，其作用也不是去证明某策略的正确，而是作为推出某策略的一个原因；The second 没有质疑 the first 。
D. The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration. the argument 并没有 endorses the first 支持的a strategy（即：第二句话的主句）；the second 也没有支持 the first。
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. the first 只是指出第二句中所述行动策略的一个原因，并没有show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect；the second 并没有指出 that strategy（即第二句中的行动策略）的引人之处，而是相反地指出其不利因素。

City Official: At
In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?
A. The first states the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.
B. The first is used to support the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second states that conclusion.
C. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes.
D. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.
E. The first states the position that the city official’s argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument.
我觉得这题不选E的~~Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care. However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.
however后面的this conclusion is almost certainly false. 是反对Critics of the hospital ，因为在this conclusion is almost certainly false. 后面说了insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary也就是说并不是因为uninsured patient没有得到适当的治疗，而是说insured patient做了不必要的治疗，在这里insured patient做了不必要的治疗并不能推出the uninsured patients are mot receiving proper medical care.这可是GMAT逻辑的特点呢~~所以第二个BF是反对Critics of the hospital 的，因为选项里没有反对critics of the hospital所以就选Dsupport for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.
不好意思~~看错选项了~~还是应该选E的，D的两个BF的解释都说不同，D中队第一个的解释The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics;提干中只是得到了结论，并不是support结论。D中的第二个解释the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument. 再提提干中的第一句话：City Official: At
不过我上面的推理过程足以把C推翻了~~~
Q22
首先要看明白题干引用的是 City Official 所说的话 ！（第二个BF也是从City Official 口中说出的！）
然后搞清楚原题（题干）要表达的意思。
第一个BF指City Official 所要反对的论点（从第二个BF判断的），即Critics提出的 没有保险的人没有受到应有的
医疗，第二个BF指出的是City Official的论点，即不是 没有保险的人没有受到应有的医疗 ，而是
有保险的人受了过多的治疗，受的过多的医疗才是不合适的，所以会让人产生受到较少医疗就是不
合适的误解。即不能用受的治疗量的多少来判断所受的治疗是否是合适的。
也就是说 City Official 认为 没有保险的人接受的医疗量是合适的，受保险的接受了过多的
医疗；而Critics认为 没有保险的人接受的医疗量偏少，是不合适的；受保险的接受的是正常量的
医疗。
读明白了提再看选项：
D 两个BF都是 结论 不是 结论不能支持自己（结论），所以D错。
C 第一个BF同上，第二BF个如果读明白题，显然可以判断出错了。
显然我的智商也不高......只能理解到这种程度了......
D. The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.
我覺得D也說的通阿
第一個boldface提供了批評者的結論
第二個boldface提供了official的看法
如何排除D???
TO这位朋友
关键是support是指“支持”，含有加强的意思，而此文BF部分不是“支持、加强”，指示state
哈哈.原来如此.
我题目就看错了.一直以为前面是official说的话. 后面是critics的话. 其实从头到尾都是official的说话. 这样一来结论就很明显了. E.

请问各位：22里的are mot receiving……中的mot该怎么解释啊？
A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. (陈述一个背景)
因为 technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed + companies want to make large profits while they still can 甲
所以 many companies charge the greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product. 乙strategy
但是 large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew product’s capabilities. 丙
因此 the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price. 丁
此短话的两个小结论乙和丁是想对立的，其中甲推出乙，丙推出丁
即B中的甲推出乙（strategy），丙反对乙
另外，韦氏字典给的关于assumption的解释是
a. an assuming that sth. is ture
b. a fact or statement(as a proposition, axiom, postulate, or notion) taken for granted.
我们按第一个来理解，是假设一个东西是真的
而本文中本身就是在阐述一个事实了，不是假设
1-3做到第三遍，居然三次都选A
