问题 The primary function of the passage as a whole is to______ [br] The passage most clearly implies which of the following about the professional service firms mentioned in line 22?

选项 A、They are unlikely to have offered unconditional guarantees of satisfaction in the past.
B、They are usually profitable enough to be able to compensate clients according to the terms of an unconditional guarantee.
C、They usually practice in fields in which the outcomes are predictable.
D、Their fees are usually more affordable than those charged by other professional service firms.
E、Their clients are usually already satisfied with the quality of service that is delivered.

答案 E

解析 The best answer is E. The passage states in lines 22-24 that “professional service firms with outstanding reputations and performance to match have little to gain from offering unconditional guarantees.” If a firm has an outstanding reputation based on a high level of performance, it is likely that its clients are satisfied with the quality of service that is delivered. Choice A is not implied: the passage indicates that the author believes that firms with outstanding reputations have little to gain from offering unconditional guarantees, but the passage implies nothing about whether such firms either currently offer guarantees or have offered them in the past. The passage does not provide information concerning the profitability (B) or the fees charged by highly reputed firms (D). In addition, it does not suggest that such firms practice in fields in which outcomes are predictable (C).
