Public image refers to how a company is viewed by its customers, suppliers, and stockholders, by the financial community, by the communities【C1】______it operates, and by federal and local governments. Public image is controllable【C2】______considerable extent, just as the product, price, place, and promotional efforts are.
    A firm’s public image plays a vital role in the【C3】______of the firm and its products to employees, customers, and to such outsiders【C4】______stockholders, suppliers, creditors, government officials, as well as【C5】______special groups. With some things it is impossible to【C6】______all the diverse publics: for example, a new highly automated plant may meet the approval of creditors and stockholders,【C7】______it will undoubtedly find resistance from employees who see their jobs【C8】______. On the other hand, high quality products and service standards should bring almost complete approval,【C9】______low quality products and【C10】______claims would be widely looked down upon.
    A firm’s public image, if it is good, should be treasured and protected. It is a valuable【C11】______that usually is built up over a long and satisfying relationship of a firm with publics. If a firm has learned a quality image, this is not easily【C12】______or imitated by competitors. Such an image may enable a firm to【C13】______higher prices, to win the best distributors and dealers, to attract the best employees, to expect the most【C14】______creditor relationships and lowest borrowing costs. It should also allow the firm’s stock to command a higher price-earnings【C15】______than other firms in the same industry with such a good【C16】______and public image.
    A number of factors【C17】______the public image of a corporation. They include physical【C18】______, contacts of outsiders with company employees, product quality and dependability, prices【C19】______to competitors, customer service, the kind of【C20】______and the media and programs used, and the use of public relations and publicity.
【C2】
选项 A、in
B、within
C、on
D、to
答案D
解析 介词辨析题。结合句意，本句主要说明公共形象就如产品、价格、地方及宣传力度等一样具有可操作性。同时根据空格后的considerable extent可知，这种操作性比较强。因此空格处应该能与空格后的extent搭配表示程度，选项中只有D)能构成to…extent结构，表示“到……程度”。其他三项in，within，on均不能与extent搭配。
