The trade in scientific literature in nineteenth-century Germany was so robust that publishers constantly worried about (i)________ of new titles, an anxiety that gave even relatively undistinguished authors, who made their living writing technical treatises, (ii)________.
A. prices D. limited public relevance
B. supplies E. enviable scholarly credentials
C. embargoes F. strong bargaining positions

I eliminated D and E confidently, but what's the inner logic of choosing F? I found it quite confusing to understand fully.

市场需求很大
而供应不足
出版商总是很焦虑
这个出版商的焦虑使得一些很一般的书的作者在出版商面前都有了【谈判的筹码】

谢谢, 看来我没有理解trade的含义, 应该是supply和consumption兼具, 而不单单只是supply发挥作用.

我觉得你对trade理解应该没错。。。

只是这个内容中间有逻辑跳跃，必须要合理的去推断。

trade was robust -> publishers worried about supplies ->even undistinguished authors had bargaining positions

OK. Thanks a lot. Lately I've been strongly questioning my capacity for logically reasoning...
