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.

选项 A、so
B、then
C、thus
D、but
