问题     The American economic system is organized around a basically private enterprise, market oriented economy in which consumers largely determine what shall be produced by spending their money in the market-place for those goods and services that they want most. Private businessmen, striving to 【C1】______ profits, produce these goods and service in 【C2】______with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures, largely determines how these goods and services are produced. Thus, in the American economic system it is the  【C3】______ of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together 【C4】______what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.
    An important factor in a market- oriented economy is the mechanism by which consumers’ demands can be expressed and responded 【C5】______ by producers. In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and 【C6】______ in response to relative demands of consumers and supplies offered by seller - producers. If the product is in short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be 【C7】______ from the market. If, on the other 【C8】______ , producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this will tend to increase the supply offered by seller - producers, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product. Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.
    The important factor in a private - enterprise economy is that individuals are allowed to own productive resources ( private  property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain 【C9】______  over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit. In the American economy, the concept of private property 【C10】______ not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another  private individual.

选项
答案C
解析 空格所在句的意思是“在美国经济中，私有财产的概念______生产资料的所有权，以及相关的权利，如产品价格的决定权和与其他私有个体的自由签约权。”首先确定空格处应是谓语动词，且为第三人称单数形式。此外根据上下文，可知空格后是对private property给出了定义范围：它不仅指生产资料的所有权，还有某些特定权利，包括产品价格的决定权和与其他私有个体的自由签约权。因此此处选择embraces，意为“包含，包括”。
