1. Country X imposes heavy tariffs on imported manufactured goods. Company Y has determined that it could increase its profits in the long term by opening a factory in Country X to manufacture the goods that it currently produces in its home country for sale in Country X. For Company Y’s determination to be true, which of the following assumptions must also be true?

A Company Y will be able to obtain all the necessary permits to open a factory in Country X.

B Company Y currently produces no goods outside its home country.

C A sustainable market for Company Y’s goods currently exists in Country X.

D Company Y’s home country does not impose tariffs on imported goods.

E Labor costs in Country X are lower than those in Company Y’s home country.

2. When a company refuses to allow other companies to produce patented technology, the consumer invariably loses. The company that holds the patent can charge exorbitant prices because there is no direct competition. When the patent expires, other companies are free to manufacture the technology and prices fall. Companies should therefore allow other manufacturers to license patented technology. The argument above presupposes which of the following?

A Companies cannot find legal ways to produce technology similar to patented technology.

B Companies have an obligation to act in the best interest of the consumer.

C Too many patents are granted to companies that are unwilling to share them.

D The consumer can tell the difference between patented technology and inferior imitations.

E Consumers care more about price than about quality.

第一题GMATCLUB上的描述有点牵强：
A.  “While this is a tempting answer, it is not necessary to assume that Company Y will be able to obtain all necessary permits. The text does not indicate whether Company Y will actually be able to implement the plan, only that the plan could increase profits if implemented.”
      However, the question asks in condition of Company Y's determination TO BE TRUE, contradicting to the latter part of the explanation that it is uncertain for Company Y to implemment the plan successfully. Moreover, admittedly, getting permissions cannot guarantee profits, but it is the premise for the factory starting to operate.

C. "CORRECT. In order for Company Y to conclude that it can increase long-term profits by opening a factory in Country X, it must believe that a sustainable market exists for its products in that country. Otherwise, the new factory would not generate revenue and the company could not recoup the cost of the new factory."

Company Y has determined that it could increase its profit, thus the choice C should be the INFERENCE from the prompt, instead of an additional ASSUMPTION.

An assumption is an external condition that should be enforced on, whereas an inference is entailed in a prompt.
