When retailers want to entice customers to buy a particular product, they typically offer it at a discount. According to a new study to be published in The Journal of Marketing, they are missing a【C1】______.
A team of researchers, led by Akshay Rao of the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management, looked at consumers’ attitudes to discounting. Shoppers, they found, much prefer getting something extra free to getting something cheaper. The main reason is that most people are 【C2】______at fractions.
Consumers often 【C3】______to realise, for example, that a 50% increase in quantity is the same as a 33% discount in price. They overwhelmingly assume the former is better value. In an experiment, the researchers sold 73% more hand lotion when it was【C4】______ in a bonus pack than when it carried an equivalent discount.
This numerical blind spot remains even when the deal clearly favor the discounted product. In another experiment, this time on his undergraduates, Mr. Rao offered two deals on loose coffee beans: 33% extra free or 33% off the price. The discount is by far the better proposition, but the【C5】______clever students viewed them as equivalent.
Studies have shown other ways in which retailers can exploit consumers’ innumeracy. One is to confuse them with double discounting. People are more likely to see a【C6】______in a product that has been reduced by 20% , and then by an additional 25% , than one which has been bargain to an equivalent, one-off, 40%【C7】______.
Marketing types can draw lessons beyond just pricing, says Mr. Rao. When advertising a new car’s 【C8】______, for example, it is more【C9】______ to talk about the number of extra miles per gallon it does, rather than the equivalent percentage fall in fuel【C10】______ .
A) bargain I) paid
B) consumption J) persuading
C) convincing K) reduction
D) deduction L) straggle
E) doubtfully M) supposedly
F) efficiency N) trick
G) hopeless O) useless
H) afforded [br] 【C6】

答案
A
解析
空格前为冠词a,因此空格需填入名词单数形式,且以辅音开头。给出的名词中efficiency不符合条件,本句的意思是“人们往往会觉得,先打八折再打七五折比一次性只打六折更划算”,因此空格内所填词应为“划算、合适”,故正确答案为A。
