As you said there is not relation, so how does it weakens the argument. (It is neutral and thus neither supports nor weakens it)sivaelectric wrote:7 is the initial inflation and then it reduces to 5. so it's said to take a downward trend. The question is which weakens the argument most? Now look at the B answer. When there is a crop failure, there will be high prices due to more demand. So inflation would be high. But this need not necessarily mean that the inflation will go down after that. There is no relation between them. Hope I am right with the explanation. Please correct me if I am wrong.The inflation in Gambonia last year was 7 percent, but this year it has dropped to 5 percent. We can thus conclude that the inflation is on a downward trend in Gambonia, and that the inflation will be even lower next year.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the argument given above?
(A)The inflation figures were based on a statistical sample and not the entire data.
(B)Last year, a crop failure of essential commodities had led to a hike in inflation.
(C)Decrease in the rate of growth of prices and wages can lead to lesser inflation.
(D)Last year's inflation figure was an all-time high.
(E)Exports can help in stabilizing inflation to a great extent.
In E - Exports can help in stabilizing inflation and thus we can't say inflation will be even lower next year. Please explain in detail.
