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 greatest price the market will bear when they have 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?

Q3:


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 greatest price the market will bear when they have such a product.  But large profits on the mew product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the mew 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?




  • The first is an assumption that forms the basis for a course of action that the argument criticizes; the second presents the course of action endorsed by the argument.

  • The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the wisdom of adopting that strategy.

  • The first is an assumption that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second is a consideration that is used to cast doubt on that assumption.

  • The first is a consideration raised in support of a strategy the argument endorses; the second presents grounds in support of that consideration.

  • The first is a consideration raised to show that adopting a certain strategy is unlikely to achieve the intended effect; the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.

  • 请问大家这题为何选b。文章思路是:1。有这样一个现象,然后解释;


    2但是这个现象会导致另一种情况;


    3所以结论是....


    不太懂consideration是什么意思?a,b,c,d,e说的是什么意思?我怎么看哪个都沾点边呢?这怎么区分呢?



    谢谢,请帮助偶啊!

    Pls see above.

    consideration: a fact that is taken into account when making a decision.


    A/C:前半部分assumption错。D: a strategy the argument endorses错。E: the second is presented to explain the appeal of that strategy.错。

    谢谢jjll,这么快就回答偶的问题,太感谢了。


    还想请问一下若是assumption,它的标志是有if 等条件或虚拟的情况,才叫assumption.


    若是consideration 或是fact 就是陈述一个事实。是这样判断吗?

    assumption未必有if。顾名思义,assumption是某人自己的假定。你如果看了AWA就知道什么是assumption了。AWA攻击的几乎全可以算是作者的assumption。


    consideration/fact是事实,是不可argue的。

    appeal of不表明什么啊,在这里大概的意思就是政策有吸引力之类吧。

    boldface题目和阅读里的文章结构题是一样的,要搞清楚哪个是论据、哪个是论点、哪个是作者支持的、哪个是作者反对的。

    FF的讲义大纲里好像有个例题,分析得很仔细,你可以搜了下载看看。
