Alfred Marshall is quoted to indicate ( ).

A.the conditions for generating quick profits

B.governments’ impatience in decision-making

C.the solid structure of publicly traded companies

D.“short-termism”in economics activities

参考答案：D

参考解析：

细节题。题干中的定位信息在“Alfred Marshall”上，直接定位到第二段的第二句“He quotes a giant of classical economies, Alfred Marshall, in describing this financial impatience as acting...”，定位信息里的“this financial impatience”则是回指第二段首句的“Short-termism”，故信息点则为“Short-termism”，所以最佳选项则为"short-termism" in economic activities，而其他选项在定位信息中未提及。故本题正确答案选D。
