prep2-23,快考了,帮帮忙啊

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 maximum possible price for such a product.  But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new 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 a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.

(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.

(C) The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.

(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.

(E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.

答案是C,但是我觉得这两个stratge并不是一个,第一句是解释为什么要 charge the maximum possible price ,但是第二个是 charge less than the greatest possible price.,请赐教

有理，但是用排除法，C是最有可能正确的。

讲讲我的理解：把strategy看得更宽泛一点，即make large profits while they still can，而charge the maximum possible price for such a product可以看作是实现这一strategy的一种具体手段，这也能呼应选项中的“certain”；而presents可以看作是介绍了实际得到应用的那个strategy，S的细节（即手段）则体现在“charge less than XXX”上。

有点强词夺理了，提供一种观点罢。

這題題目是從破解版上抓下來的嗎?boldface的部分我覺得有問題。

我做gmat prep軟體時遇到此題，boldface的部分應為以下，與破解版boldface處有所不同

谢谢楼上，总算明白了。破解版那个没一个选项对，当时我就很怀疑呢。

有了楼上的证据，自信心找回了不少：）
