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？？

"Those industries" refer to "export-dependent industries in Z" since both phrases are in the same sentence.

If the export-dependent industries in Z cannot compete effectively due to the rising cost of the imported product, surely answer A describes one possible reason.

这个应该是conclusion题吧（文章支持选项），但是楼上写的我看不懂也。。。

深表同意，如果这个题归为找premise或assumption就对了，偏偏搞个draw conclusion当然思路怎么都不能搭。。。。郁闷

This is an inference question.

我觉得是这样的。C项里的“those industries”指的是受到贸易保护的新兴产业，与题目要求不符。题目要选的是由“export-dependent industries ”受到影响得出的结论。选项A，这些出口导向型产业在政策影响下原料成本上升就会导致竞争力下降，从而可能得出它们本身利润空间就不够大的结论。

C选项中的thoses industries 指的是several export-dependent industries in Z
文章的结论应该是
政府的计划sharply limiting the ability of those industries to
compete effectively in their export markets.


(A) Profit margins in those industries were not high
enough to absorb the rise in costs mentioned above.
正确。因为如果cost变高了的话一定会影响profit margin
(B) Those industries had to contend with the fact
that other countries banned imports from Country Z.
这个和other countries，import 没有关系。
(C) Those industries succeeded in expanding the domestic market for their products.
无关
(D) Steps to offset rising materials costs by decreasing labor costs were taken in those industries.
labor cost从头到尾都没有提过。无关。
(E) Those industries started to move into export markets that they had previously judged unprofitable.
说他们现在经营状况很难。没有提到他们之后的动向。何况装移到unprofitable更赔钱。。

如果是Inference 类型题的话，偶的理解题干是原因，选项是结论或结果，但是你在上述的回复讲A选项是其中之一原因。是不是有点矛盾啊。比较晕......

sdcar2010

Inference question is a Must-Be-True type of question, which is 100% true based on the stimulus.  In other words, if stimulus is right, the answer for an inference question MUST be right. Choice A is 100% true based on the stimulus.

sdcar大大每次都一阵见血！

我选了B，从题干中sharply limiting the ability of those industries to compete effectively in their export markets
是不是错在：价格增长出口优势相应减少，但并不表明Z就100%打算出口这些产品？在A绝对正确的情况下，B就淘汰了？
