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 that has been raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.
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 explain the appeal 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 pursuing a goal that the argument rejects; the second presents a course of action that has been adopted in pursuit of that goal.
其实我觉得这题黑脸部分有点多了，如果真的要选C，B1应该划线在because technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed打止
但我还是错选了E。。。
E
第一句是consideration，用来证明一个目标，什么样的目标，argument反对的目标。
文段的目标是want to make large profits, 而不是charge什么样的price
所以作者并没有反对这个目标，至始至终都是想要获得最高利润。但是提出了2个不同的策略，分别是charge最高价或者比最高价低一点点的价格。
C
C包含的一句话是这个科技很快就被超越，提出了前一个strategy没考虑到的一个缺点，也就是给自己提出的strategy做个铺垫, 相当于premise。既然这个科技很快被超越，那么肯定要charge less than greatest possible price，不然人人都来抢生意了。
所以，
黑脸题还是要读完，不能只看逻辑转折词排除选项。
一定要读清楚定语从句的内容和topic（跟RC的主旨题类似）
