讨论一道prep黑脸题，附个人理解，求更好的理解

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 maximum possible price for 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?
A.The first is a consideration that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.  
B.The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.  
C.The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.  
D.The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.  
E.The first is a consideration that has been used to justify pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.  
黑脸题。1）是对第一句话的解释，为什么价格高；2）价格高的反效果。1是和第一句同向的所以排除AB,D和E说得都不对。DE是把两句话当成同向的了，但其实两句话是反向的。
现在楼主不理解C，感觉C也是错的啊。。。the second presents that strategy这里觉得不对，第二句不是consequently了吗，那就不应该是strategy了吧？求众位解答！

C.The first is a consideration raised to explain the appeal of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.  

作者说了一个策略，然后反驳，再然后提出自己的策略。那么作者提出第一个策略再自己反驳的目的是什么？自然是说前面这个策略不好，才能说自己提出的策略好且解决了前一个策略有的问题啊！

B感觉也不算错，大方向上的确是支持。
这题我前二次做选的都是B，但是感觉C也没错，甚至更好一些。

这个题目有很多变体的，这个算是比较隐晦的。

仔细看了一下，好像有细微的差别。我的理解是：

第一个其实是中间结论（这个结论不完善），BUT后面就是说的这个结论的不完善的地方，第二是作者真正的结论。

B选项用了support这个词，比较positive，其实第一个和第二个结论是不同的。谈不上support

C选项说明了中间结论的作用，即 appeal 和 but后面的弱点，共同得出第二个主要结论。

C感觉怪怪的
