The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the  (41)   roles of producer or "provider" and purchaser or "consumer" in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a  (42)   buyer with various inducements of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the  (43)  .

选项 A、shrewd
B、potential
C、sophisticated
D、wealthy
答案 B
解析 四个选项均可用来修饰空格后的名词buyer。根据常识，精明(shrewd)和老练(sophisticated)的顾客不太容易被销售者提出的各种诱惑所左右，因此shrewd和sophisticated都不恰当；wealthy用在句中更不恰当；potential意为“未来的；潜在的，可能的”，填在空格后整个句子才合情合理。
