问题 The author mentions each of the following as a cause of excess inventory EXCEPT______
The author cites the examples in lines 25-29 most probably in order to illustrate______

选项 A、the fiscal irresponsibility of dumping as a policy for dealing with excess inventory
B、the waste-management problems that dumping new products creates
C、the advantages to the manufacturer of dumping as a policy
D、alternatives to dumping explored by different companies
E、how the news media could portray dumping to the detriment of the manufacturer’s reputation

答案E

解析 The best answer is E. Lines 25-29 immediately follow the author’s description of how manufacturers choosing excess-inventory dumping may be “caught by the news media,” in which case “dumping perfectly useful products can turn into a public relation nightmare” (lines 22-25). Both scenarios described in lines 25-29 illustrate the kind of statement that, if made by the news media, would “portray dumping to the detriment of the manufacturer’s reputation,” as E states. Each emphasizes the reputation-damaging perception that a manufacturer has dumped useful, much-needed goods. Neither scenario illustrates A-D. Neither “fiscal responsibility” (choice A) nor “waste-management” (choice B) is mentioned in the passage. Choices C and D are mentioned elsewhere in the passage but are not organizationally or logically connected with lines 25-29.
