IMO Ans is D

Answer choice D says "Either economy is weak or prices are remaining constant".

However, question stem says If the economy is weak, then prices remain constant.

In "Either economy is weak or prices are remaining constant" it means that second part of the statement after "or" automatically implies that "economy is NOT weak". If that is the case, then "prices are ramining cannot be true.

OA please.....

I also got D, although it took me a bit over 2 minutes. Drawing out sort of a flow chart helps to keep the info straight. Then looking through the chart you can quickly determine what is true.

weak economy = price constant = unemployment rising = investment decreasing.
