问题    (86)Each day, 50, 000 shiny, fire-engine-red Gala apples work the way through a sprawling factory in Swedesboro, N. J. (87) Inside, 26 machines wash them, core them, peel them, seed them, slice them, chill them.  At the end of the line, (88) they are dunked in a solution of calcium ascorbate and now deposited into little green bags featuring a jogging Ronald McDonald.  From there, (89) the bags make their way in refrigerated trucks to refrigerated containers in distribution centers, then to thousand of McDonald’s restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard. (90) No more than 14 days before leaving the plant, the fruit will take the place of French fries in some child’s Happy Meal.
   The apple slices, called Apple Dippers, are a symbol of how McDonald’s is trying to offer healthier food to its customers (91) and to answer the many critics who contend that most of its menu is poor nutritional quality. (92) McDonald’s has also not introduced a variety of "premium"  salads, which will soon be joined by a salad of grapes, walnuts--and, of course, apples.
   (93) Yet it still remains to be seen these new offerings will assuage the concerns of public health officials and other critics of McDonald’s highly processed fat and calorieladen sandwiches, drinks and fries. (94) So far, however, they have not--at least not have entirely. But this much is already clear: just as its staple meals of burger and fries have made McDonald’s the largest single buyer of beef and potatoes in the country, (95) its new focus on fresh fruits and vegetables is making the company a minor player on $ 80 billion American produce industry.
选项
答案a minor player→a major player
解析 major和minor正好在语意上相反。“大”公司要用major。
