Question 4 of 12

4. Question

Last night, some of the employees of the Burlington Office Supply Company went to the local bar to celebrate their company’s anniversary.

Question 6 of 12

6. Question

DVDs were first introduced to consumers in the 1990s. When they first arrived, they were more expensive than VHS tapes. According to companies that manufactured these early DVDs, their higher price was attributable to higher product development and production and manufacturing costs, which is not an unusual aspect of a new and emerging type of technology. As DVD technology progressed over the years, and modes of production and manufacture became more streamlined and efficient, the cost of making DVDs, and their retail price, gradually reduced. However, the cost of rival VHS tapes soon rose to match that of DVDs, despite the fact that they’ve been around for many years.

Which of the following could best help explain the late rise in price of VHS tapes?

A. Consumer excitement for VHS tapes increased after DVD technology entered the market, because DVDs were constantly selling out and hard to find.
B. Consumers of VHS tapes stubbornly refused to embrace the new DVD technology.
C. Competition from DVD technology led to a decrease in the number of VHS tapes sold and produced, thus their production and manufacturing became less cost-efficient.
D. DVD technology and production flourished while VHS production slowly died off.
E. There really was no rise in the cost of VHS tapes, it was a malicious rumor started by rival DVD companies.
