Over the last several decades, the demand for Country Y's automobiles increased in Country X but demand for Country X's automobiles in Country Y has remained stagnant. Initially, this disparity was plausibly due to Y's manufacturers having superior technology, which has yielded more fuel-efficient cars with cheaper maintenance. However, now Country X's cars are comparable-if not slightly superior-in these respects. What Country X's manufacturers fail to acknowledge is that Country Y's drivers drive on the left side of the road. Clearly, to help lessen this trade imbalance, Country X manufacturers should produce more cars with right-side steering wheels.
Which of the following is an assumption made by the argument?
A. Reversing the trade imbalance requires making right-side steering wheels.
B. If Country X makes automobiles with right-side steering wheels, most consumers from Country Y will choose to purchase a car from Country X.
C. If consumers from Country Y drive on the left side of the road, these consumers are less inclined to buy steering wheels found on the left side of the car.
D. Cars from Country X will continue to improve their fuel efficiency and reduce their maintenance costs.
E. The government of Country Y requires all its citizens to purchase cars with right-side steering wheels.
The OA is C
