严重同意，其实文章就说了公司在预测需求方面有所能也有所不能。

vote for C..

原来选了d，但现在怎么看都是c！

d关键就是错在ways in which companies address ，稳中并未讲公司address。。。的方式！

其实我认为c也这是比d好，它本身也不是十分的好！

最后一段应该是预测distributed among
the many SKU’s they sell 困难的例证吧！因为前面是让步状语从句，重点应该在困难才对！

以下是引用xealot在2004-12-29 10:37:00的发言：

To solve this problem, we need to address the word ADDRESS.

The word ADDRESS is kind of like SOLVE. And given the exact meaning of ADDRESS, it's relatively safe to say that "ways in which companies address the difficulties" is actually away from the point.

In point of fact, if we misunderstand the word ADDRESS, to some extend, the D is exactly the same stuff like C...

原来选D。后来看来一字之差，意思就差了。选C啦

云开

还是认为选D, 这里的address应该是提及,谈到的意思.区分重点应该是在difficulties of forcasted demand上,而不是C的ability to forcast demand.

我认为这里的address是提及,谈到的意思.主要区分的是D的difficulties of forcasting demand，而C中是ability to forcast demand.

棱角优雅的冰

当然是D啦，怎么会是C啊

C.   To illustrate an assertion about companies’ability to forecast demand

D.  To provide an example of ways in which companies address the difficulties of
     forecasting demand

(30)     Even though manufacturers and retailers can
forecast aggregate demand with some
certainty, forecasting accurately how
that demand will be distributed among
the many SKU’s they sell is difficult.

(35)          For example, a company may be able
to estimate accurately the aggregate
number of shoes it will sell, but it may
be uncertain about which specific
types of shoes will sell more than
other types.

C中所说的ability只出现在even though分句和but之前，而D中的difficulties出现在主句和but之后，D才是作者想表达的主要内容。

云开

现在再看,绝对是C！

D的ways in which使D的意思变成了提供一个example,这个example是用来看公司如何应对预测需求的困难的。而实际是这个例子显示了预测需求的困难。意思完全不同！example和difficulites of forcasting demand是没错，可是句子意思错了。

居然还因为死机一连POST了三个错误答案，汗。。。please ignore....
