Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B)Customers who like Kohler's products and believe that Kohler stands for "gracious living" will associate "gracious living" with other Kohler products. This would make them more likely to try those products, Choice B. Choice A goes against the passage, which suggests that Kohler is more focused, adding only products and services that fit its mission. Choice C also goes against the passage, which suggests that Kohler is more unified in purpose. Choice D speculates about sales of higher-priced and lower-priced goods, but there is not enough information to make any solid conclusion here. Choice E goes against the passage, since the customers motivated by "gracious living" don't sound like the same people who hunt for the lowest price.
