Pricing and the Psychology of Consumption
Ask any executive how pricing policies influence the demand for a product or service, and you’ll get a confident, well-reasoned reply。Ask that same executive how pricing policies affect consumption—the extent to which customers use products or services that they’ve (19) for—and you’ll get a muted response at best. It is found that managers rarely, if ever, think about consumption when they (20) prices—and that be an (21) oversight.
For many executives, the idea that they should (22) consumers’ attention to the price that was paid for a product or service is counterintuitive. Companies have long (23) to mask the costs of their goods and services in order to boost sales. And rightly (24) —if a company fails to (25) theinitial sale, it won’t have to worry about consumption.

Executives who (33) those pricing tactics without considering their impact on consumption may be trading off long-term customer retention for shorf-term increases in sales. [br]
选项
A、afforded
B、cost
C、used
D、spent
答案
D
解析
根据上下文,此处动词与介词“on”搭配,作“buyer”的谓语,但“cost”的主语应该为被买的东西;“afford to do”表示“花得起钱做……”;“use”不与“on”搭配。因此,D为正确选项。
