问题     While many companies are spending more money on sales
promotion than on media advertising, it is difficult to say just what
percentage of a firm’ s overall promotional budget should be
allocated to advertise versus consumer- and trade-oriented【M1】______
promotions. This relocation depends on a number of factors,【M2】______
including the specific promotional objectives of the campaign, the
market and competitive situation, and the brand’s stage in its life
cycle.
    Consider, for example, what allocation of the promotional【M3】______
budget may vary according to a brand’s stage in the product life
cycle. In the introductory stage, a large amount of the budget may
be allocated to sales promotion techniques such as sampling and
couponing to induce trial. In the growth stage, moreover,【M4】______
promotional dollars may be used primarily for advertising to stress
brand differences and keep the brand name in competitors’ minds.【M5】______
When a brand moves to the maturity stage, advertising is primarily
a reminder to keep consumers aware the brand. Consumer-oriented【M6】______
sales promotions such as coupons, price-offs, premiums, and
bonus packs may be needed periodically to maintain consumer
loyalty, attract new users, and protect against competition.
Trade-oriented promotions needed to maintain shelf space and【M7】______
accommodate retailers’ demands for better margins as long as【M8】______
encourage them to promote the brand. A study on the synergistic
effects of advertising and promotion examined a brand in the
mature phase of its life cycle and has found that 80 percent of its【M9】______
sales at this stage was due to sales promotions. When a brand【M10】______
enters the decline stage of the product life cycle, most of the
promotional support will probably be removed and expenditures
on sales promotion are unlikely. [br] 【M10】

选项

答案 was一were

解析 语法错误。此处考查的是主谓一致。百分比作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式要视百分比后面所接的名词而定,此处名词是sales(销售量).应该用复数,再结合上下文的时态,即此处应该改为were。
