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.
2nd the use of title (advantage)
⚠️注意第一个boldface是shun “the use of title”，第二个说的是“the use of title”的实际作用【即 shun the use的负面效果】
用title的好处=不用title的坏处
use of a title can facilitate an executive's dealings with external businesses. 使用头衔可以促进与外部的商业交易——>使用头衔的好处
strategy: 就是不使用头衔
E author企图证明第一个strategy是正确的（×）作者反对这个策略
justification 证明...是正确的
C. 质疑公司想要避免的这个problem (inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy) 的重要性，错误
D. 完全错误
E. 并不是想provide a justification
A certain problem: 阻碍公司上下层交流
Drawback: 得不到外部企业的尊重（反话正说：有了头衔就多了尊重。）
B：第二部分并不是讨论这个strategy能不能解决阻碍交流的问题（the goal）。
但是goal在文中指的是【communication up and down the corporate hierarchy】，事实上并没有谈这个呀
作者没有questioning 这个problem的significance，而是说这个problem的解决方案有drawback。
