A、for purposes of
B、on account of
C、on the strength of
D、prior to
【正确答案】:C
【名师解析】:选项C "on the strength of" 是正确的答案。这个短语意味着"依靠...的力量"或"由于...的优势"。在这个句子中,它用来表示公司能够利用其股票市场的强劲表现来为重要的收购提供资金,这里的"their inflated share prices"指的是公司股价高企,这为公司提供了更多的资金来源。其他选项如 "for purposes of" 通常指"为了...的目的","on account of" 意为"由于",但通常不用于这种语境,"prior to" 则意味着"在...之前",都不符合句子的语境。
