[简答题]–OAO- Relax is a company that operates a chain of hotels and leisure centres in several towns and cities throughout Russia. Last year, –OAO- Relax appointed Tamara, a new chief executive officer, who persuaded the board of directors to diversify the business by setting up a chain of health clubs. Despite scepticism in the media and opposition from some of the shareholders, Tamara proceeded with the plans. The outcome of the diversification has been a disaster. The health clubs failed to attract sufficient business to cover their costs and proved to be a drain on the company’s resources. –OAO- Relax is faced with the prospect of closing down the health clubs, or selling off this part of the business at a huge loss. A group of shareholders that collectively holds 8% of the shares in –OAO- Relax believes that the initiative has caused irreversible damage to the company. They have been backed by three of the company’s ten directors, who consistently opposed the initiative only to be outv

Required:(a) With reference to the provisions of the Law on Insolvency, explain the order in which the

[单项选择]Advertising sells its products by offering seductive promises of youth, beauty, health, money, ease, romance, better lifestyle, even time. There’s no logical connection between a car and a cougar, but the image is powerful and presented with sophistication. We buy it and we may well buy the product.
When it comes to advertising, let the buyer beware. There are several less-than-candid techniques which advertisers use to get our attention. A product may be filmed or photographed in such a way to make it appear bigger, better, or more luscious. A product may be presented as being "unique", "one-of-a-kind", or "supreme", when in fact it’s identical to other products on the market. A product may claim to be "new" or "improved" when only an insignificant change has been made.
Finally, an advertiser may offer distorted truths or even tell outright lies. It takes a while for the government or the competition to catch up with false claims in advertising. Meanwhile, the public has bee
A. to doubt its truth
B. to disbelieve it
C. to distinguish between what is true and what is not true
D. to know what products the advertiser is going to sell
