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.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
