Gmat Prep - Viva Mexico

[raulverde]

Please give detailed explanations.

the question starts with "In contrast with". This is catch for such question.
The rule is
Similar things can be comapared. For example, Horror movie can not be compared with Romantic one. Am I logical here?

So, here, trade deficit of US with China and Japan is comared with that of Mexico.

B: ignore it. Sales record of US is being compared to trade deficit.
C: Ignore. US is compared to trade. Impossible.

D and E follows the same.

I will go with A.
