(单选题)
It is argued that the influence of transient investment on public companies can be ( ).
A.indirect
B.adverse
C.minimal
D.temporary
参考答案:B
参考解析:
细节题。此题的定位信息为题干的transient investment,直接定位到第三段的第二句Transient investors, who demand high quarterly profits from companies, can hinder a firm’s efforts to invest in long-term research or to build up customer loyalty,从四个选项的褒贬正负来看indirect、minimal 和temporary为中性的表述,只有B选项的adverse为明确的负面表达,意思为不利的,与原文中的hinder(阻碍打扰)对应上。故本题正确答案选B。
