To protect certain fledgling industries, the government of Country Z banned imports of the types of products
those industries were starting to make. As a direct result, the cost of those products to the buyers,
several export-dependent industries in Z, went up, sharply limiting the ability of those industries to
compete effectively in their export markets.

Which of the following conclusions about Country Z’s
adversely affected export-dependent industries is best supported by the passage?

(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high
enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.

(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact
that other countries banned imports from Country Z.

(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.

(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries.

(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.

C选项为什么不对，答案中的those industries 指的是谁？？？我觉得应该是fledgling industries，结论应该是在国内这些企业非常成功，A选项我觉得推不出来啊？？

@ls
cost上涨，profit随之下降，那么由于profit margins较小，就无法与其他公司竞争
并没有说是否亏损

纳寻寻

关于A选项的意思我有点不理解，是说“随着cost的上涨，profit没有同样上涨来维持以前的利润水平”还是说“cost的上涨已经导致亏损了”呢？如果是后者的话，是否就不能从题干中推出这个结论呢？谢谢

其实题目就是问我们从这个argument里面能得出什么样的inference.推断题推断题,至于conclusion,题目都给了.
结论是政府的那个政策导致成本上升,最终限制了某些产业在出口市场的竞争力.
因为成本上升,边际收益又不足以compensate for the increased cost, 所以在出口市场的竞争力就下降了.
所以正确答案是A.
C跟题目是irrelevant的.

问一个关于题干的问题，
the cost of those products to the buyers， went up（对于买家来说 这些产品的成本增加了),
这句话我怎么觉得应该是the cost to the buyers of those products, went up（成本 对于这些产品的卖家来说 增加了）才对呢. 当时这句话看得我迷糊就没弄明白buyers是干嘛的。
求解答呢。。。

This is an inference question.

我也觉得是推断题，但是manhattan里面把它归在draw a conclusion里面了。是不是可以理解成draw a conclusion里面的推断题呢？
另外must be true是不是可以用在很多题型呢 比如说assumption conclusion.突然想问为什么会把must be true归为一类题呢？

Ok, got it, thanks

A is the right answer again.

There is no mention of the "intent to export" those products in the stimulus, either at present or in the future.

Which of the following can be most properly inferred from the passage about the products whose importation was banned?



(A) Those products had been cheaper to import than they were to make within country Z's fledgling industries.

(B) Those products were the ones that country Z was hoping to export in its turn, once the fledgling industries matured.

(C) Those products used to be imported from just those countries to which country Z's exports went.

(D) Those products had become more and more expensive to import, which resulted in a foreign trade deficit just before the ban.

(E) Those products used to be imported in very small quantities, but they were essential to country Z's economy.

There is no mention of "other countries banned imports from Country Z" in the stimulus.  Therefore, B is not must be true, according to the stimulus.
