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,The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy，我怎么觉得是reject the stratedy呢？麻烦解释一下，谢谢！

P.S.觉得Prep里的boldface比GWD难不少，以前GWD的Boldface我基本不错的呀。奇怪了！

Because   .......-> tells you the reason and it explains the first sentence.
Consequently, the strategy  -> the startegy is initiated by the company, not the competitor.

明白了，我原来认为第一句和最后那句的strategy不一样，其实是一样的。

中间有个but字没看到，同学？
