One of the meditators said his weekly meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making. But the insight gained from mystic communication with spirits of wise kings has also helped【C3】________the profits of his five companies.
    Mysticism and profits have come together since the 13th century introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants.

    Businessman Hadisiko said his group fasts and meditates all night every Thursday to become closer to God and to contact the spirits of the great men of the past. Hadiziko hastened to add that his companies also hold modern personnel management systems and that formal qualifications are essential for a candidate even to be considered.

选项
答案 D
解析 名词辨析题。根据空格后的and profitability可知，该空缺少与profitability并列的名词。空格所在部分that has brought________and profitability是修饰a turning mound “扭转局面”的定语从句，一般情况下，扭转局面带来的除了profitability“利润”外，还有公司的发展壮大，故D项expansion“扩张，扩大”符合句意，为正确答案。
