问题 An emergency board meeting at the corporate headquarters of Ellison Monroe lasted longer than anticipated yesterday afternoon,as members struggled to reach a consensus on who should take over the post of CFO. Two weeks ago,everyone including the board thought the decision had been made. But just two days ago it was leaked to national news media that the board’s first pick, Alejandro Stamos,had turned down the position, citing health issues. But,after a grueling eight-hour session in the boardroom,a new name was agreed upon: Linda Robinson.
    Ms. Robinson comes to Ellison Monroe with an impressive track record. She was formerly vice president for finances with the multinational Johnson & Edwards,based out of Hong Kong. Her ex-boss,CEO Tay Wan,was quoted as saying Robinson was the cleverest,most innovative executive he’d ever had the pleasure of working with. And that’s just what Ellison Monroe needs.
    For seven straight quarters now, they’ve watched their stock value sink in the face of stiffer competition from overseas firms and a general tightening of the construction materials market. Robison appears to understand the challenges, however. Upon being informed of the board’s decision last night,she told reporters,"Bring it on." Time will tell whether her self-confidence is well-founded or foolish.
What is the article mainly about?
选项 A、An upcoming meeting of a corporate board
B、A firm’s recent financial troubles
C、The appointment of a company executive
D、Ellison Monroe’s annual performance assessment
答案C
解析
