The highest priority should be given to the needs of the sales department, because without successful sales the company as a whole would fail.
Ed:
There are several departments other than sales that must also function successfully for the company to succeed. It is impossible to give the highest priority to all of them.
Ed criticizes Ravi's argument by pointing out:
A.That the sales department taken by itself is not critical to the company's success as a whole B.The ambiguity of the term "Highest Priority" C.That the department other than sales are more vital to the company's success D.An absurd consequence of its apparent assumption that a department's necessity earns it the highest priority E.That Ravi makes a generalization from an atypical case
答案：D
完全不懂，希望能有人把题干意思大概翻译一下，那个sales department是指公寓的销售量还是它就是某一种公寓？要不下面怎么就several departments other than sales了？这两者怎么并列？还有答案也看的云里雾里...求NN解答啊！呼唤版主也~作者: Estaban 时间: 2013-2-28 14:27

也是新手不知道怎么解释就直译一下题干吧，LZ的中文理解完全错误了。
Ravi:
The highest priority should be given to the needs of the sales department, because without successful sales the company as a whole would fail. sales部门应该被给予highest priority，因为没有成功的sales整个公司就会失败
Ed:
There are several departments other than sales that must also function successfully for the company to succeed. It is impossible to give the highest priority to all of them. 还有很多除了sales的其他部门也必须成功运作才能使公司获得成功。给所有的部门highest priority是不可能的。
