练习 1
"We are not about to cut our ties with our current suppliers to enable Delavigne and its subsidiaries to create a skin-care monopoly."

This means that McGillicutty's with their current suppliers and a Delavigne monopoly.
"We are not about to cut our ties with our current suppliers to enable Delavigne and its subsidiaries to create a skin-care monopoly."

This means that McGillicutty's won't end their relationship 1 with their current suppliers and facilitate 2 a Delavigne monopoly.
1 won't end their relationship: This is the correct choice. Ms. Bratwurst uses the idiom "to cut one's ties", which means to "end a relationship" or to "terminate a contact". She is expressing that her company is unwilling to end its relationship with Kalvin Krime in order to "enable a Delavigne monopoly".
1 refuses to negotiate: This is incorrect. The expression "to cut one's ties" does not indicate that McGillicutty's "refuses to negotiate" with their current suppliers.
1 will reduce their accounts : This is incorrect. The expression "to cut one's ties" does not indicate that McGillicutty's will reduce their accounts with their current suppliers.
1 will not compete: This is incorrect. The expression "to cut one's ties" does not indicate that McGillicutty's will not "compete" with their current suppliers.
2 facilitate: Ms. Bratwurst writes that McGillicutty's won't "enable" a Delavigne monopoly. To "enable" means to "allow" or to "permit", and in this context shares a similar meaning with the verb "to facilitate".
2 impede: "To impede" conveys a sense entirely opposite to the verb "to enable". Bratwurst is in fact trying to communicate that McGillicutty's refuses to participate in a Delavigne monopoly. "To impede" means "to block" or "to hinder".
2 ignore: "To ignore" does not express the same sense as "to enable". This choice is incorrect.
2 block: "To block" conveys a sense entirely opposite to the verb "to enable". Bratwurst is in fact trying to communicate that McGillicutty's refuses to participate in a Delavigne monopoly.
