请教OG-154关于新版OG对它的解释，谢谢！

154.

Start-up companies financed by venture capitalist have a much lower failure rate than companies financed by other means. Source of financing, therefore, must be a more important causative factor in the success of a start-up company than are such factors as the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur, the quality of strategic planning, or the management structure of the company.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

(A) Venture capitalists tend to be more responsive than other sources of financing to changes in a start-up company’s financial needs.

(B) The strategic planning of a start-up company is a less important factor in the long-term success of the company than are the personal characteristics of the entrepreneur.

(C) More than half of all new companies fall within five years.

(D) The management structures of start-up companies are generally less formal than the management structures of ongoing businesses.

(E) Venture capitalists base their decisions to fund start-up companies on such factors as the characteristics of the entrepreneur and quality of strategic planning of the company.

答案是E。

 

对于A，OG说 the responsiveness of venture capitalist is a point in favor of the argument.

 

QUESTION 1:

 

Responsiveness难道不属于personal characteristics吗？

 

QUESTION 2:

What’s the meaning of “the source of finance” ?

 

 

 

想了很久还是不懂，希望大家给点意见。

谢谢！

对于A并没有削弱，并没有否定原文的结论。原文说投资来源也是决定企业成功的一个要素，A恰好加强了这一点。

第二个问题，就是资金来源或资金支持。

KATIEUS

不好意思，还是不大明白．

the responsiveness of venture capitalist

风险投资家的敏感度属于资金来源？

而非风险投资家自身的素质？

KATIEUS

选项本身把Venture capitalists
        的
            more responsive视为与other sources of financing
        平行的概念而非通常被认为属于characteristics of entrepreneur的范畴，觉得有些怪异．

 

Venture capitalists
        的
            more responsive难道不应该属于企业家的个人素质吗？怎么会归到“融资来源”这一类呢？

First question;

- From the second sentence in the argument,you can obiviously find that editor compared Source of financing with personal characteristics, quality and management structure.

In choice A,Venture capitalists tend to be more responsive than other sources of financing to changes in a start-up company’s financial needs.

Not responsiveness as you think .A support the conclusion that Source of financing is much more imprtant.So different matrial is disscussed.Responsiveness is everything but personal characteristics .

Second question,

-Thanks to 股疯。

gonghao

personal characteristics  is refered to entrepreneur while responsiveness refers to venture capitalist.So different objects and different agents are disscussed in this question and choices.

KATIEUS

好晕！

请楼上的ＧＧ看一下１楼中新ＯＧ　对于选项Ａ的分析，我就是纳闷呢，明明是more responsive 在选项中，怎么变成the responsiveness of venture capitalist 在它的分析中了呢？

 

KATIEUS

personal characteristics  is refered to entrepreneur while responsiveness refers to venture capitalist.

以下是引用KATIEUS在2006-11-20 22:44:00的发言：

好晕！

请楼上的ＧＧ看一下１楼中新ＯＧ　对于选项Ａ的分析，我就是纳闷呢，明明是more responsive 在选项中，怎么变成the responsiveness of venture capitalist 在它的分析中了呢？

 

in OG ,it says that Venture capitalists tend to be more responsive .It's ok to describe responsiveness of venture capitalist .Venture capitalists tend to be more responsive means that responsiveness of venture capitalist will get into increasing.

A is saying that Venture capital is much better and conclusion will be strangthened for sure.So A is not the answer any more.

-------------------------

responsiveness is used to talking about the venture capitalist but personal characteristics is used to refer to the entrepreneur.From the argument these two are different and peer to peer in the comparision. 

KATIEUS

对于如下几个概念请斑竹明示：

Source of financing

The responsiveness

personal characteristics

首先无论它们对应的是那类人, The responsiveness
        不应该属于personal characteristics 吗？

The responsiveness
        无论如何也跟Source of financing 建立不起关系吧。
