Bargain book shoppers must have been pleased looking at Amazon’s bestseller list this weekend: The online bookseller had dropped prices on some of its top-selling hardcovers, as much as 64% off【C1】______. 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." And according to Jack Mckeown, president of Books & Books Westhampton Beach in New York, it is an open【C4】______of war against the industry.
Amazon has just announced that it will add 7,000 jobs—2,000 of those seasonal—at its regional shipping and customer service centers. The company says its workers make 30% more than traditional retail【C5】______.
President Obama, who is known to【C6】______shop at independent bookstores when given the chance, has angered the American Booksellers Association with a planned appearance Tuesday at an Amazon warehouse. ABA Chief Executive Oren Teicher stated that the appearance is "greatly【C7】______," as he wrote in an open letter to the president because Amazon has caused a net loss of jobs, while President Obama’s goal is to【C8】______his plan for a stronger economy.
Can President Obama be a friend to independent booksellers and the online retailer at the same time?

A)trimming B)retail C)evidently D)aggressive
E)staff F)promote G)misguided H)motivation

【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。
