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?

The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.
The first is a consideration raised to help explain the popularity of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.
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.
The first is a consideration that has been used to justify adopting a certain strategy; the second presents the intended outcome of that strategy.
错选B:⚠️最先找到文章的论点⚠️Consequently, the strategy to maximize overall profit from a new product is to charge less than the greatest possible price.
然后看前提,以及有没有转折词。所以B选项:the argument并没有recommend 这个策略,而是否定其;
选项D:第一句黑体字并不是assuption, 而是在讨论中被证实的。
选项E:第一句黑体字并没有充分证明charge the maximum price这个战略;更清晰的是,第二句黑体字并没有展示这个战略的intended outcome, but rather the means of bring about that intended outcome(maximum price, by means of high price)
