冰剑幽蓝

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.Surprisingly,perhaps,the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greastest price the market will bear.Many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product,because they want to make as much profit as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed.The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.
In the argument above,the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
A  The first is the postition the argument advocates;the second presents grounds for rejecting an alternative position
B  The first is the position the argument advocates;the second is an alternative position that the argument rejects
C  The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal;the second presents a drawback to that strategy
D  The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal;the second presents grounds for preferring a different goal
E  The first presents a strategy that,according to the argument,is ineffective;the second presents a way of improving the effectiveness of that strategy

答案是A，为什么第一句不是strategy，而是position;第二句为什么是grounds for rejecting an alternative postition?

Structure of the argument:
Premise A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.
Bold face Surprisingly,perhaps, the strategy to maximize overall profits from a new product is to charge less than the maximum price the market will bear.<===This is what the argument proposes.
A second strategy is presented Many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product,because they want to make as much profit as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed.
Bold face The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors an incentive to quickly develop a product to match the rival product's capabilities<== this is a drawback of the alternative strategy.
这才是正确版本

C后半部分不对是因为它说的是后面那个strategy的缺点，而不是第一个present的strategy的缺点。原文的意思是一些代表先进技术的有竞争力的产品通常是值得一个高价格。然而，令人惊讶的是，一个从新产品上达到利润最大化的策略是标的价格比市场能够容忍的最大值要低的价格。虽然有些公司认为技术先进的产品应该尽可能的要高价，因为先进的技术很快就会被超越。但是这种策略的缺点是。。。
红笔标出的是两段黑体字的解释，因而第二段的解释说的缺点是一些公司的策略，并不是第一段标出的策略

这个是正解，prep2012里面太多字面问题了，不是少划高亮，就是少个关键的单词，做的头疼加郁闷！

the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greastest price the market will bear.
你们不觉得这个句子少了点什么？charge than the greatest price怎么解释？
