______CDF Inc. stood to make a larger profit by selling its aging Texas plant to rival Albacore Inc., it decided instead to sell for less to the relative new-comer Telebrite, to help cement a strategic partnership aimed at checking Albacore"s dominance.
A．Because
B．Although
C．As long as
D．Rather than
参考答案
正确答案：B
解析：从上下文我们可以看出到Albacore Inc．为止都是从句的内容，it之后的才是主句的内容。再从文意上看从句和主句是对立的。所以应该用一个表示让步的连词来连接。四个选项中只有Although符合要求并能够使语句通顺，因此是正确答案。Rather than的含义是“与其……不如……”放在这里语句不通。
