问题    Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professions, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all these prices make the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad. complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service, or in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in a particular transaction, much more than the money involved must be known. Both the buyer and seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the a- mount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege, and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that compose the total "package" being exchanged for the asked--for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.  
The best title for the passage is ______.
选项 A、The Inherent Weaknesses of the Price System
B、The Complexities of the Price System
C、Credit Terms in Transactions
D、Resource Allocation and the Public Sector
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。本篇短文的主要内容是关于价格与产品和服务之间的复杂关系，所以最佳标题应该是“价格体系的复杂性”，文章第一段中的第二句话特别强调了这一点。
