2012 prep上的一道boldface题，求解答

renyu199014

A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Surprisingly, perhaps, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge than the greatest price the market will bear. Many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product, because they want to make as much profit as they can and technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed. The drawback is that large profits on the new product give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities.

In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

A.The first is the position the argument advocates; the second presents grounds for rejecting an alternative position.

B.The first is the position the argument advocates; the second is an alternative position that the argument rejects.

C.The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal; the second presents a drawback to that strategy.

D.The first presents a strategy for achieving a certain goal; the second presents grounds for preferring a different goal.

E.The first presents a strategy that, according to the argument, is ineffective; the second presents a way of improving the effectiveness of that strategy.
我不大明白题目的意思，我觉得一直在说一种策略，但是看了解答好像是有两种不同的策略？

第一个划线部分是不是打漏字了，‘charge than’？

renyu199014

没有打漏字，应该是要价大于市场所能承受的最高价的意思吧

记得有类似题是charge less，如果以charge less来理解就正好是A
