Hi,
I have a wage guess for eliminating few answer choices! Here we go,
"A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price. Because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed and companies want to make large profits while they still can, many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product. But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product's capabilities. Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
In the argument above, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first is a consideration raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.
(B) The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.
(C) The first is a consideration raised to help explain the popularity of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.
(D) The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.
E) The first is a consideration that has been used to justify a certain strategy; the second presents the intended outcome of that strategy."
First the bolded part, does the majority of the options with the bolded part(consideration) help us to eliminate D?
Secondly, the colored part(presents that strategy), do they help us to eliminate E?
Finally, we are left with A,B,C within few seconds!!
I have noticed this being true with most the CR questions! The OA is within the majority of the similar choices!
Comments most welcome.
Thanks,
GK
