Because&nbsp;<strong>technological advances tend to be quickly surpassed<\/strong>&nbsp;and companies want to make large profits while they still can,&nbsp;<strong>many companies charge the maximum possible price for such a product<\/strong>. But large profits on the new product will give competitors a strong incentive to quickly match the new product&#8217;s capabilities.

The first is a consideration raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B.

The first is a consideration raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive; the second presents that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first is a consideration raised to argue that a certain strategy is counterproductive&#8217; &#8211; \u2717 WRONG &#8211; The first boldface doesn&#8217;t argue against maximum pricing; it actually explains why companies feel compelled to use that strategy. It provides reasoning for the behavior rather than criticizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B. The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends; the second presents that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first is a consideration raised to support the strategy that the argument recommends&#8217; &#8211; \u2717 WRONG &#8211; The first boldface supports maximum pricing (which creates urgency), but the argument ultimately recommends charging LESS than maximum price. So this consideration supports the wrong strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C. The first is a consideration raised to help explain the popularity of a certain strategy; the second presents that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first is a consideration raised to help explain the popularity of a certain strategy&#8217; &#8211; \u2713 CORRECT &#8211; The first boldface explains why maximum pricing is popular: because tech advances get surpassed quickly, companies feel pressure to maximize profits while they can. &#8216;the second presents that strategy&#8217; &#8211; \u2713 CORRECT &#8211; The second boldface presents the maximum pricing strategy that the first boldface helped explain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D. The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action; the second presents that course of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first is an assumption, rejected by the argument, that has been used to justify a course of action&#8217; &#8211; \u2717 WRONG &#8211; The first boldface isn&#8217;t an assumption that the argument rejects. The author accepts that tech advances do get surpassed quickly &#8211; this is presented as factual reality, not a rejected assumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>E. The first is a consideration that has been used to justify adopting a certain strategy; the second presents the intended outcome of that strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;The first is a consideration that has been used to justify adopting a certain strategy&#8217; &#8211; \u2713 CORRECT &#8211; The first boldface does justify maximum pricing by explaining the time pressure companies face. &#8216;the second presents the intended outcome of that strategy&#8217; &#8211; \u2717 WRONG &#8211; The second boldface presents the strategy itself (maximum pricing), not the intended outcome. The intended outcome would be &#8216;large profits while they still can.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A product that represents a clear technological advance over competing products can generally command a high price.
