Which of the following can be inferred about supplier partnerships, as they are described in the passage?

A.      They cannot be sustained unless the goods or services provided are available from a large number of suppliers.

B.       They can result in purchasers paying more for goods and services than they would in a competitive-bidding situation.

C.      They typically are instituted at the urging of the supplier rather than the purchaser.

D.      They are not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products.？？？？

E.       They are least appropriate when the purchasers’ ability to change suppliers is limited.

为什么D是错误的呢？

原文是：In corporate purchasing, competitive scrutiny is typically limited to suppliers of items that are directly related to end products. With “indirect” purchases (such as computers, advertising, and legal services), which are not directly related to production, corporations often favor “supplier partnerships” (arrangements in which the purchaser forgoes the right to pursue alternative suppliers), which can inappropriately shelter suppliers from rigorous competitive scrutiny that might afford the purchaser economic leverage

我今天查了一个帖子，人家解释大概是说正说成立，反说不一定不成立。
就是often favor  “supplier partnerships”，是often，而不是absolutely/must，所以D得答案太绝对了。
直接把directly的可能给否了。（not feasible when the goods or services provided are directly related to the purchasers’ end products）

不过，我要是不知道答案，我绝对不会往这个方向上想。= =。

另外补充，B选项偷梁换柱技巧简直太可耻了T.T。我这么粗心的人，竟然答案看了三遍都以为它是与文章相反。

恩恩 我这道也有问题，看了上面童鞋的解释，有点明白了，就是not direct的时候是可以建立supplier relationship 但是没有说direct的时候不可以 所以D是不能够得到的。
