问题    Prices determine how resources are to be used. They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professions, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationship of all these prices make the “system” of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad. complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service, or in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in market transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in a particular transaction, much more than the money involved must be known. Both the buyer and seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the a- mount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery terms, return privilege, and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that compose the total "package" being exchanged for the asked--for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.  
The paragraph following the passage most likely discusses ______.
选项 A、unusual ways to advertise products
B、types of payment plans for service
C、theories about how products affect different levels of society
D、how certain elements of a price "package" influence its market value
答案D
解析 推测判断题。本文是一篇文章的节选，探讨了美国价格体系的复杂性、价格的定义和对价格的理解，指出买卖双方都必须认识到价格的高低是由产品和服务的数量、质量和售后服务所决定的。从本文结尾最后一句可以判断，下文很可能讨论组成“一揽子”价格的各种因素及其对产品的市场价值产生的影响。
