(from TPR CARS workbook)
The correct answer is D but I selected A. To paraphrase, Paragraph 3 states that the US can't provide for its own needs for raw silk and rubber. It seems the paragraph is implying that America will not decrease their consumption and continue to rely on exports --- American is "far from independent of the outside world." That's why I chose A.
I was deciding between answers A and D, but the passage doesn't even discuss any possible negative economic effects and instead only talks about the positive effects. Therefore I thought this passage would do a poor job answering question D...
I would love a good explanation about the reasoning behind the right answer. Also, any CARS tips related to my issue with this question would be great. TPR answer key isn't really helping me. Thanks!
