问题 The primary purpose of the passage is to______ [br] The discussion of the regional bank (line 13-24) serves which of the following functions within the passage as a whole?
选项 A、It describes an exceptional case in which investment in service actually failed to produce a competitive advantage.
B、It illustrates the pitfalls of choosing to invest in service at a time when investment is needed more urgently in another area.
C、It demonstrates the kind of analysis that managers apply when they choose one kind of service investment over another
D、It supports the argument that investments in certain aspects of service are more advantageous than investments in other aspects of service.
E、It provides an example of the point about investment in service made in the first paragraph.
答案 E
解析 This question asks you to select the choice that best describes how the second paragraph (lines 13-24) logically relates to the purpose in the passage is to suggest that investments in service do not necessarily translate into a competitive advantage. The second paragraph logically relates to this purpose by presenting an example of a company that did not improve it competitive advantage by investments in service, even though it did improve service. Choice A can be eliminated: while it is true that the bank’s investment in service failed to produce a competitive advantage, there is no indication that the bank was unusual in this respect. Choice B is incorrect because although the passage suggests that the regional bank’s investments in service ere unwise in that they failed to improved the bank’s competitiveness, the second paragraph does not illustrate problems, or pitfalls, arising from the bank’s decision to invest in service rather than in other aspects of its business. Choice C and D are incorrect because the passage does not discuss the kind of analysis managers use in deciding which services to invest in (choice C), or the relative advantages of investing in different aspects of service (choice D).
