问题 What do both sides need to do now in order to set up Sony BMG formally?
Sony and Bertelsmann AG have agreed to merge their music units. It’s a deal that puts hot icons, like Britney Spears—heard here—and Beyonce under the same label in a combination first announced on November 6. Now the agreement has been finalized. The only step left here: antitrust regulators have to give their final approval. The new combined music company, known as Sony BMG, will be based in New York City. It comes as the music industry faces continual challenges for the fourth straight year, from piracy to falling music sales. The London-based market-research company Informa Group says it looked for another decline in recorded music sales in the year 2004 to the tune of 8.9 percent. That means mat the contracting music industry could have less than $28 billion in sales when all is said and done.

选项 A、To reach an agreement between the two sides.
B、To invite some celebrity to join their new firm.
C、To publicize their activities.
D、To wait for approval by an authority concerned.

答案D

解析 细节判断题。新闻开始已经提到双方就合并的事宜已经达成了协议,那么照常理下一步就是要合法的手续,同时,原文说“剩下的最后一步是等待反托拉斯监管方面的最后认可”。所以选项就应该是D项。B、C两项应该是成立之后的工作,所以可以排除。
