第三题选A的原因在于：We are told that （这里说我们被告知的一种思想，暗示作者其实不赞同这个思想）the independent inventor, along with the small firm, cannot afford to undertake the important research needed to improve our standard of living while protecting our diminishing resources; that only the giant corporation or conglomerate, with its prodigious assets, can afford the kind of expenditures that produce the technological advances vital to economic progress. But when we examine expenditures for research,

But（作者开始用evidence 来反驳大公司即使是有强大的资金也是不愿意搞创新的，其实下面一段也说了是创新的动力来自于 competition） when we examine expenditures for research,

支持jameshzd对第三题的解释。Despite these finding, we are urged to support monopolistic power on the grounds that such power creates an environment supportive of innovation. We are told that the independent inventor, along with the small firm, cannot afford to undertake the important research needed to improve our standard of living while protecting our diminishing resources; 【重点在这句话，符合A项】that only the giant corporation or conglomerate, with its prodigious assets, can afford the kind of expenditures that produce the technological advances vital to economic progress.

如果用第四题的Under what circumstances is an industrial giant likely to invest heavily in innovation?而去否定第三题的A是不妥的吧。一个说giant何时会去投资创新，一个说giant是否有能力去创造重要的创新。并不矛盾~~~

可是ability of monopolistic industry to produce the important inventions of the future是有的，只是想不想的问题啊~~就像 我想不想做和能不能做是两码事啊？

我想请问下 第三题中 答案A has little confidence in the ability of monopolistic industry to produce the important inventions of the future，是不是应该翻译成作者对于垄断企业在未来生产重要发明的能力没有信心？ 如果是的话，那么是不是对应文章的最后一段呢？

文章最后一段说：There are instances in which they too must compete with another industrial Goliath, and then their weapons may include large expenditures for innovation.  垄断企业仍然存在竞争，在这种情况下可能在创新方面会投入大量资金。

这是不是表示 作者对于垄断企业在创新方面仍然有信心呢？
