In the aftermath of a worldwide stock-market crash,Country T claimed that the severity of the stock-market crash it experienced resulted from the accelerated process of denationalization many of its industries underwent shortly before the crash.

Which of the following,if it could be carried out,would be most useful in an EVALUATION of Country T's assessment of the causes of the severity of its stock-market crash?

A) Calculating the average loss experienced by individual traders in Country T during the crash
B) Using economic theory to predict the most likely date of the next crash in Country T
C) Comparing the total number of shares sold during the worst days of the crash in Country T to the total number of shares sold in Country T just prior to the crash
D) Comparing the severity of the crash in Country T to the severity of the crash in countries otherwise economically similar to Country T that have not exeperienced recent denationalization.
E) Comparing the long-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T to the immediate,more severe short-term effects of the crash on the purchasing power of the currency of Country T.

To me D and E are the contenders

I am not an economist to understand E.

IMO D.
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

I went with D.

My take on why it isn't option E - E talks about the effects of the crash on purchasing power, whereas the cause effect from the stimulus is: accelerated denationalization -> severity of market crash.

IMO A,B and C are irrelevant.

Lets see if any of the experts here can validate my understanding.

My pick is A considering that the question says Evaluate.

D seems the best option to evaluate the severity of the crash .

Whats the OA ?
