GMATPrep 一道怪题

Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously provided for itself. Vernon, Inc. a small manufacturing company that has in recent years experienced a decline in its profits, plans to boost its profits by outsourcing those parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than Vernon can itself.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that Vernon’s plan will achieve its goal?




  • among the parts of its business that Vernon does not plan to outsource are some that require standards of accuracy too high for most independent suppliers to provide at lower cost than Vernon can.

  • Vernon itself acts as an independent supplier of specialized hardware items to certain manufacturers that formerly made those items themselves.

  • Relatively few manufacturers that start as independent suppliers have been able to expand their business and become direct competitors of the companies they once supplied.

  • Vernon plans to select the independent suppliers it will use on the basis of submitted bids.

  • Attending to certain tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently has taken up much of the time and effort of top managers whose times would have been better spent attending to Vernon’s core business.

  • 答案是e, 但我怎么看怎么觉得是无关选项, 我选的是a.



    为什么呀?

    肯定是E。


    A的意思是:部分零件不外包的理由


    E的意思是:外包的理由

    可是, E选项提到的是 " tasks that Vernon performs relatively inefficiently" 而提干中说的是:parts of its business that independent suppliers can provide at lower cost than LACE w:st="on">VernonLACE> can itself.  


    也就是说, "tasks that Vernon performs performs relatively efficiently" is the paraphase for "parts of its business that independent suppliers at lower cost"? 是吗?


    只是做题的时候没有把 lowering cost 和 efficient 联系起来.


    谢谢

    嗯,大体是这样。


    你想啊,公司什么时候需要外包,就是自己做成本更高


    E答案说,如果不外包的话,会把经理的时间浪费在本来应该做更重要的事情上。是不是?
