Mansour: We should both plan to change some of our investments from coal companies to less polluting energy companies. And here’s why. Consumers are increasingly demanding nonpolluting energy, and energy companies are increasingly supplying it.
Therese: I'm not sure we should do what you suggest. As demand for nonpolluting energy increases relative to supply, its price will increase, and then the more polluting energy will cost relatively less. Demand for the cheaper, dirtier energy forms will then increase, as will the stock values of the companies that produce them.
Therese responds to Mansour’s proposal by doing which of the following?
Advocating that consumers use less expensive forms of energy
Implying that not all uses of coal for energy are necessarily polluting
Disagreeing with Mansour’s claim that consumers are increasingly demanding nonpolluting energy
Suggesting that leaving their existing energy investments unchanged could be the better course
Providing a reason to doubt Mansour’s assumption that supply of nonpolluting energy will increase in line with demand
responds to Mansour’s proposal by doing…… ,Mansour’s proposal 指的是M提议把股票从煤炭公司调仓到清洁能源公司,怎样回应呢?通过另一个proposal来回应M的proposal。如果问的是怎样回应M的reasoning,则是通过另一个reasoning来回应M的reasoning。
句子理解:As demand for nonpolluting energy increases relative to supply, 随着对无污染能源的需求相对于供应的增加,意思是供应也增加、需求也增加,但需求的增加相对于供应的增加更大,更快。读懂这个句子就否掉了C/E。
