BEC真题中有关sector和division的区别
在一篇完型填空里出现的
The majority of shareholds support the Board's decision to sell the company's loss-making engineering_____.It was the Board's belief that the company would gain most benefit by focusing its resources on the expansion of its construcion activities.
在下划线的地方有四个选项：
A portion B component C sector D division
在这儿为什么是选D,而不是选C呢?两个词的用法有什么区别?

答案

从公司的角度上来说,sector是指的部门.division就是指的公司或者事业部了,如sales division.division的级别会比sector高一些.
而题目中指的是一个大的,进行某项事业活动的组织,division更合适一些,它的下面依据功能可能会设定多个sectors.
