In the passage, the author is primarily concerned with doing which of the following?
It can be inferred that the author makes which of the following assumptions about the businesses once controlled by individual capitalists?
选项
A、These businesses were less profitable than are businesses today.
B、Improving long-term productivity led to increased profits.
C、Each business had only a few stockholders.
D、There was no short-term trading in the stock of these businesses.
E、Institutions owned no stock in these companies.
答案
B
解析
This question asks you to infer, from information stated in the passage, what the author assumes about the companies once controlled by individual capitalists. The best answer is B. In liens 5-8, the author asserts that individual capitalists “had to concentrate on improving the long-term productivity of their companies.” Then, in lines 20-21, the author identifies improved long-term profitability as a consequence of improved long-term productivity. From this it can be inferred that the author assumes that if the businesses controlled by individual capitalists had improved long-term productivity, they would also have become more profitable. Choice A is not correct. The author does not make any direct comparison between the profitability of past and present corporations. Choice C is not the correct answer. The first sentence of the passage states that most large corporations were once dominated by individual capitalists who owned large portions of the companies’ stock, but the passage does not specify whether many or few people owned the remainder of each company’s stock. Choice D is incorrect. In lines 4-6, the passage states that the individual capitalists who once dominated large corporations “could not sell out for a quick profits,” but the passage does not indicate whether or not the other shareholders of these corporations were involved in short-term trading of their stock. Choice E is not correct. The passage does not suggest that intuitions owned no stock in most large corporations, only that individual capitalist owned enough stock to dominate these corporations.
