紧急请教GMAT题

A product that represents a clear technology advanced over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make lage profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product. But large profits on the new products will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capability. consequently, the strategy to maxmize overall profits 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 he strategy that the argument recommends;  the second presents that strategy.

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

D. the first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that hs be used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action

E. the first is a consideration that has been usd 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.

答案选C, 我真不明白为什么，请各位高手帮我解答一下！

为什么没有人理我呀？？？

不知道你对哪个选项比较confuse，这题其他四个都可以排除，所以你最好说明自己对哪个选项不理解。

就我来说，我自己是在CE之间犹豫的，后来想想

这里goal应该是to maxmize overall profits吧，charge the maximum possible price for such a product 和 to charge less than the greatest possible price 对等，都属于strategy。

我看到最后一个黑体字部分和最后一句话之间有but，

我就推出这句话和结论必然相反。两个黑体字部分之间什么也没有，

就推出他们两个都和结论相反。然后第一个黑体字前面有Because,表原因。

我就能推出这些，所以很不明白为什么选择C

你的理解都对：两句跟后面的结论都是反的，并且第一句是第二句的因。就是说1、2本身方向正，与最后的结论方向反，1是2的前提，2基于1的结果

那么就根据你自己说的就可以排除A、B了

A 中1、2是反的：说1 argue一个东西怎么样，2就是那个东西，既然Argue了1、2就是反的，不对

B 说这个consideration 和stretagy是作者recommended的，那就变成跟作者最后结论相同了，不对

D 教你一招，时间紧张的时候看到Assumption这个单词就排除，因为assumption的含义就是隐含条件，文章都写出来了还隐含什么呀，所以一般黑脸题里不会选它

这样就剩C和E了，我前面帮你分析过了，再说goal文中没出现，strategy出现，要快就不分析直接选C。

呵呵，不过这样的推论过程基本适合你这种只有10天准备时间的人，一般人的话所有定律都有反例，还是要认真看的
