Sometimes the risk may be high,as in motor-racing or mountaineering. Then the company【B5】______a much higher price.【B6】______too many climbers have accidents, the price rises still further.

选项
A、deduction
B、reduction
C、induction
D、production
答案
B
解析
这四个选项属于词形接近的词,但意义毫无关联。deduction意为“演绎,推理”;reduction意为“减少,降低”;induction意为“归纳.吸人”;production意为“生产”。本句后半部分的意思是:对没有事故的公司,要降低保险费。所以应选reduction。
