Then, start【C3】______how much you’ll need to pay for all those goods and services.
    Some of the expenses【C4】______during the start-up phase will be one-time costs, such as the fee for printing【C5】______your brochures, creating your LLC or acquiring a permit, while others will be【C6】______, such as rent, insurance or employees’ salaries. In【C7】______, it’s best to use a two-step process. First,【C8】______an estimate of one-time costs needed to get your doors open, and then develop an operating【C9】______for the first six months or even the first year of the business.
    【C10】______you’re still having trouble figuring out how much money you need, do【C11】______on other companies in your industry and region of the country.

【C17】

选项 A、count
B、err
C、impose
D、dwell

答案B

解析 惯用搭配题。本句指出如仍有疑虑,创业者应该如何应对。根据下文中的“高估前期投资成本”推测,此处应该谈论怎样做。从搭配上来讲,可以和后面搭配成动词短语的只有B)err。err on the side0f表示“过分表现;宁可”,符合句意。A)count(on)“依靠,指望”;C)impose(on)“把……强加给”;D)dwell(on)“老是想着;详细论述”均不符合句意。
