A preliminary announcement from the government of the Republic of Bilong indicated that the country’s year-to-date trade deficit dropped again last month. In fact, according to a government spokesperson, last month was the third month in a row that Bilong’s exports were substantially greater in value than its imports. The government has not yet released any actual figures, but clearly the trend reported indicates that government efforts to promote Bilong’s export trade are finally bearing fruit.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) There has not been a sharp contraction in the total value of goods imported into Bilong in recent months.
(B) There has been no lessening in recent months in the government’s efforts to promote exports.
(C) The government’s efforts to promote export trade did not lead Bilong’s exporters to reduce prices in order to achieve a higher volume of exports.
(D) Bilong’s government is able to discern broad trends in foreign trade long before actual figures are available.
(E) There has been no significant shift in Bilong’s exports from one category of exported goods to another in recent months.
