The primary purpose of the passage is to______
The author uses the word “only” in line 23 most likely in order to______
选项
A、highlight the oddity of the service improvement
B、emphasize the relatively low value of the investment in service improvement
C、distinguish the primary attribute of the service improvement from secondary attributes
D、single out a certain merit of the service improvement from other merits
E、point out the limited duration of the actual service improvement
答案
B
解析
This question requires you to identify the author’s most likely rhetorical purpose in using the word “only” in line 23 of the passage. The best answer is B. The word “only” in line 23 appears in a sentence that identifies the sole benefit of the bank’s investment in service. In this context, the word “only” highlights the low return on the bank’s investments in service: whereas the bank’s managers clearly had hoped to gain a competitive edge, in fact they gained only a single, seemingly insignificant benefit as a result of their investments in service, that is, the ease with which the improvement in service could be described to the bank’s customers. Choice A can be eliminated because there is no suggestion in the passage that it is odd either for service to improve as a result of investments in service or for businesses to invest in service improvements. Choice C is not correct because the passage does not discuss any particular attributes of the improvement. Choice D can be eliminated because the passage mentions only one incidental merit of the service improvement: ease of explanation (lines 22-24). It cannot, therefore, be accurately described as singling out a certain merit from other merits. Choice E is incorrect because the passage does not discuss the duration of the single benefit described.
