Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an executive's dealings with external businesses. Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is widely known that the corporation's executives use titles outside their organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the corporation.
In the consultant's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second presents a drawback to that strategy.
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the effectiveness of that strategy as a means of achieving that goal.
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration the consultant raises in questioning the significance of that problem.
The first is part of an explanation that the consultant offers for a certain phenomenon; the second is that phenomenon.
The first describes a policy for which the consultant seeks to provide a justification; the second is a consideration the consultant raises as part of that justification.
这一题只能排除。很明显第一个黑体是讲strategy(不要title),而第二个讲的是title有好处。现在问题是第二个对第一个黑体的作用是什么?B排除,因为并没有质疑(说title外部好处并没有否认它的内部坏处),C也排除(同B,说外部与内部是怎样无关),剩A(其实我觉得有点勉强,因为A说的是第二个黑体指出第一个黑体的缺点,他的逻辑是这样的:不要title买就没有外部沟通反面的好处,这是一个缺点,是第一个黑体strategy的缺点,但这样算是缺点么?
