While people are used to seeing deals at Amazon, the present【C2】______is unusually deep. The booksellers’ newsletter Shelf Awareness【C3】______a rare Saturday issue about them, writing that the discounts were at "levels we’ve never seen in the history of Amazon."

【C7】
选项
答案G
解析 is greatly提示此处应填入形容词或分词。上一句提及奥巴马总统计划在亚马逊仓库露面，这惹怒了美国书商联合会。再结合本句的“亚马逊导致了很多人失业”，可见Oren Teicher认为奥巴马的做法不妥当，misguided符合语境。
