Mechanicorp’s newest product costs so little to make that it appears doubtful the company will be able to sell it without increasing the markup the company usually allows for profit: potential clients would simply not believe that something so inexpensive would really work. Yet Mechanicorp’s reputation is built on fair prices incorporating only modest profit margins.
The statements above, if true, most strongly support which of the following?
(A) Mechanicorp will encounter difficulties in trying to set a price for its newest product that will promote sales without threatening to compromise the company’s reputation.
(B) Mechanicorp achieves large annual profits, despite small profits per unit sold, by means of a high volume of sales.
(C) Mechanicorp made a significant computational error in calculating the production costs for its newest product.
(D) Mechanicorp’s newest product is intended to perform tasks that can be performed by other devices costing less to manufacture.
(E) Mechanicorp’s production processes are designed with the same ingenuity as are the products that the company makes.

你可能忽略里题目里非常重要的一句话，potential clients would simply not believe that something so inexpensive would really work.
如果潜在顾客根本不相信这种产品有效，公司又怎么能achieve a high volume of sales?
题目中主要是陈述一种矛盾: low price, 顾客不相信产品会有效；high price, 顾客不会买，而且公司的reputation又影响，因为Mechanicorp’s reputation is built on fair prices incorporating only modest profit margins.
