10、阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。21（6分） When most people think of the word, “brand”, they think of the Nike Swoosh, Ford “blue oval,” McDonalds Golden Arches, or the “State Farm is There” jingle. They know what theywill get with a wellbranded product or service as promised. Think of Volvo, for insta

In none of the above cases does the brand promise describe what these companies do or provide. The NFLs brand promise says nothing about football. Coca-Cola

The promise along with look, personality, time, money, and hard work combined can eventually help to build and maintain great brands and
