A certain automaker aims to increase its market share by deeply discounting its vehicles' prices for the next several months. The discounts will cut into profits, but because they will be heavily advertised the manufacturer hopes that they will attract buyers away from rival manufacturers' cars. In the longer term, the automaker envisions that customers initially attracted by the discounts may become loyal customers.
In assessing the plan's chances of achieving its aim, it would be most useful to know which of the following?
(A)Whether the automaker's competitors are likely to respond by offering deep discounts on their own products
(B)Whether the advertisements will be created by the manufacturer's current advertising agency
(C)Whether some of the automaker's models will be more deeply discounted than others
(D)Whether the automaker will be able to cut costs sufficiently to maintain profit margins even when the discounts are in effect
(E)Whether an alternative strategy might enable the automaker to enhance its profitability while holding a constant or diminishing share of the market
题目分析：原文比较简单，说的就是降价促销量，并通过降价让客户不买别的车只买自己的车，问评价。A说我们要知道竞争对手是否听到你降价之后也会跟着降价，所谈主题就是原文谈的主题，留着。B说是谁来做的广告，跑题了，干掉。C说我自己的某一款车是否会比别的款式的车打折打得更狠一些，没说过这个比较，干掉。D说即便我打折我能够控制成本来让我盈利，没说是否能控制成本来盈利啊，干掉。E说还有另外一个盈利的方法，另外一个盈利方法和我原文所谈的方法有什么关系，干掉。
