75. Which of the following best completes the passage below? The more worried investors are about losing their money, the more they will demand a high potential return on their investment; great risks must be offset by the chance of great rewards. This principle is the fundamental one in determining interest rates, and it is illustrated by the fact that——. (A) successful investors are distinguished by an ability to make very risky investments without worrying about their money (B) lenders receive higher interest rates on unsecured loans than on loans backed by collateral (C) in times of high inflation, the interest paid to depositors by banks can actually be below the rate of inflation (D) at any one time, a commercial bank will have a single rate of interest that it will expect all of its individual borrowers to pay B (E) the potential return on investment in a new company is typically lower than the potential return on investment in a well-established company
75. Since an unsecured loan is more risky, from the lender’s point of view, than a loan baked by collateral, the fact that lenders receive higher interest rates for unsecured loans is an illustration of the principle outlined in the passage. Thus, choice B is the best answer.
None of the other choices gives a clear instance in which increased risk is compensated by the potential for increased return. Choice A does not concern return on investment at all. Choice C is an instance of low return unrelated to risk. In choice D, contrary to the principle, the rate of return remains constant despite possible variations in risk, and choice E also runs counter to the principle if investments in well-established companies entail less risk.
这题我做对了,但对OG中对E的解释不是很理解."E also runs counter to the principle if investments in well-established companies entail less risk."OG认为E与题目原则背道而驰.仿佛well-established companies就不应该有高回报似的.我想我做对这题是因为对B比较了解,相信也有人是这样做对的.但实际上对E的排除充足的理由是什么呢?请讨论.
