A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of University of Minnesota, looked at consumers’ (2)_____ to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are(3)_____ at fractions.
Consumers often struggle to realise,(4)_____, that a 50% increase in(5)_____ is the same as a 33% discount in price. They(6)_____ assume the former is better value.

This numerical blind(8)_____remains even when the deal(9)_____ favours the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33%(10)_____ the price. The discount is(11)_____ the better proposition, but the experiment shows the supposedly clever students viewed them(12)_____ equivalent.

选项
A、for example
B、as a result
C、in particular
D、by contrast
答案
A
解析
上文提及与fractions有关的主要原因,本段用具体的事例说明,提及50%,33%,73%等多个数据。因此此处是支持上一句观点的具体例子.故A项for example符合语义。as a result“结果是”;in particular“特别”;by contrast“相反”。
