问题     Public image refers to how a company is viewed by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders, by the financial community, by the communities【C1】______it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable【C2】______considerable extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.
    A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the【C3】______of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders【C4】______stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as【C5】______special groups. With some things it is impossible to【C6】______all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders,【C7】____________ it will undoubtedly find【C8】______from employees who see their jobs【C9】______On the other hand, high-quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval,【C10】______low-quality products and【C11】______claims would be widely looked down upon.
    A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable【C12】______that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has learned a quality image, this is not easily【C13】______or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to【C14】______higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most【C15】______creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to command higher price-earnings【C16】______than other firms in the same industry with such a good reputation and public image.

【C5】
选项 A、converse
B、diverse
C、reverse
D、universe
答案B
解析 as well as…意为“和……一样”，前后连接的是意义相近的词，前面stockholders，suppliers， creditors， government officials等都是各不相同的群体，那么后面special groups也应是多种多样的。B选项diverse意为“不同的，多种多样的”，符合题意。A选项converse意为“相反的，颠倒的”，C选项reverse意为“相反的，倒转的，颠倒的”，D选项universe意为“宇宙，世界，万物，领域”，与题意均不符。此外，下一句all the diverse publics中，定冠词the表示所指的内容为上文出现过的对象，进一步验证B选项正确。
