问题 The author mentions each of the following as a cause of excess inventory EXCEPT______
The passage provides information that supports which of the following statements?

选项 A、Excess inventory results most often from insufficient market analysis by the manufacturer.
B、Products with slight manufacturing defects may contribute to excess inventory.
C、Few manufacturers have taken advantage of the changes in the federal tax laws.
D、Manufacturers who dump their excess inventory are often caught and exposed by the news media.
E、Most products available in discount stores have come from manufacturers’ excess-inventory stock.

答案B

解析 The best answer is B. “Products with slight manufacturing defects may contribute to excess inventory,” is supported by lines 2-3, which assert that “production … error” can contribute to excess inventory. Lines 27-29, which describe a scenario illustrating the exposure of excess-inventory dumping, also support B: “QRS Company dumps…diapers because they have slight imperfections.” The passage does not mention “market analysis” (choice A), nor does it include information about the relative proportion either of “manufacturers that have taken advantage of tax laws” (choice C) or of products in discount stores that come from excess-inventory stock (choice E). Far from being supported, D groundlessly asserts that the “remote possibility” described in lines 23-24 occurs “often.”
