參考答案
The company with the best results is C. Company B made steady progress only. Companies A and D both had disappointing years.
For D, trading profit fell by 7%; however, as the company was able to spend £ 4.8 on an acquisition, we assume profits were still reasonable. On the other hand, A made losses that were only almost balanced by gains from cost savings. Therefore, A seems to have the worst results.
