Directions for questions 36-40. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
For two decades after World War II, mass production reigned supreme. Mass-production
techniques pushed companies into standardized products, long product life cycles, and rigid
manufacturing, emphasizing efficiency and low cost over flexibility. Special orders cost more.
But today's consumers are very choosy. They want quality, value and products specially tailored
to their needs, but always at the lowest possible price. For now mass customization has come to
the fore. Mass customization uses information technology to produce and deliver products and
services designed to fit the specifications of individual customers. Companies can customize
products in quantities as small as one with the same speed and low cost as mass-production
methods. Mass-customization systems use information taken from the customer to control the
flow of goods.

C) can easily be adapted to meet the needs of individual customers

goods ………………………….. .
