The excerpt's second sentence about Ford and Sloan and the first sentence are related in the following way:
The following phrase:
B. Compares a fact with the fact in the opening line.
The first phrase demonstrates that Henry Ford was more interested in creating useful, affordable cars.
On the other hand, the second sentence demonstrates that Sloan concentrated on luxury and grandeur. He desired higher prices on his automobiles.
The contrast between the two concepts is evident and the word "instead" is used at the beginning of the second sentence to emphasize this very clearly and it can be understandable by anyone.
