One impetus for invention has always been the (35) for speed and high-quality results--provided they are achieved (36) reasonable costs.

选项
A、inefficient
B、effective
C、adequate
D、sufficient
答案
A
解析
本题测试逻辑搭配。inefficient意为“效率低的,效率差的”:effective意为“有效的,有作用的”;adequate意为“适当的,足够的”:sufficient意为“足够的,充分的”。根据后面的at which point an improvement would be made(需要改进)可知,所填之词应该表示否定之意,只有选A。
