題目：Since the early nineties, the trend in most businesses has been toward on-de-mand, always-available products and services that suit the customer's_______ rather than the company's.
[A] benefit
[B] availability
[C] suitability
[D] convenience
答案：D
譯文：90年代初以來,多數(shù)行業(yè)趨向隨時提供產(chǎn)品與服務(wù)，即這些服務(wù)和產(chǎn)品都是為了方便顧客，而不是商家。
解析：名詞辨析題。convenience表示“方便”；benefit表示“利益， 好處” availability表示“有效性，實用性”；suitability表示“合適，適當(dāng)”。根據(jù)題意應(yīng)選convenience。
