大全10-2 很汗滴问一句

大全-10-2.      A manufacturer of men’s dress socks sought to increase profits by increasing sales. The size of its customer pool was remaining steady, with the average customer buying twelve pairs of dress socks per year. The company’s plan was to increase the number of promotional discount-sale periods to one every six months.

Which of the following, if it is a realistic possibility, casts the most serious doubt on the viability of the company’s plan?

(A) New manufacturing capacity would not be required if the company were to increase the number of pairs of socks sold.

(B) Inventory stocks of merchandise ready for sale would be high preceding the increase in the number of discount-sale periods.

(C) The manufacturer’s competitors would match its discounts during sale periods, and its customers would learn to wait for those times to make their purchases.

(D) New styles and colors would increase customers’ consciousness of fashion in dress socks, but the customers’ requirements for older styles and colors would not be reduced.（C）

(E) The cost of the manufacturer’s raw materials would remain steady, and its customers would have more disposable income.

C是不是在说在这个制造商打折期间，其竞争对手也会相应调整价格，而消费者就会趁此时机购买？？？

可是 its不是不能指代修饰语的嘛(请注意第二个its) 还是我根本就把这句话给理解错了

满脸黑线滴请NN指教

Its就是指原文中的A manufacturer of men’s dress socks

第一个its是指它的竞争者，第二个是它的消费者。

你的理解是对的啊，就是竞争者会竞相减价，消费者等到那个时候再买。
