An economist asserts that a free trade agreement will benefit Country A's automobile industry as long as the industry remains competitive globally; that the industry will remain competitive as long as it continues to innovate; and that it will continue to innovate as long as it receives sufficient investment.
Benefit-->Competetive Globally-->Innovate-(I)-->Sufficient investment.(SI)
If the assertions above are correct, which of the following further predictions can logically be derived from them?
(A) If the automobile industry in Country A receives sufficient investment, it will remain competitive globally.Failed due Reverse logic.
(B) If the automobile industry in Country A continues to innovate, it will benefit from the free trade agreement.Failed due Reverse logic.
(C) If there is a global recession, the automobile industry in Country A will cease to innovate.Correct.I-->SI which means,~SI-->~I
(D) The automobile industry in Country A will receive sufficient investment indefinitely.Not relevant.Future is not discussed here.
(E) Country A's economy will become the most dominant in the automobile sector globally.Not relevant.Future is not discussed here.

After the opening day of the week,
We're back to business.
I feel the luck is going to shift to our Green team as we get closer to the end of the Champions.
Let's get started with our explanation for this topic:
Identify the Question:
We are dealing with a Inference question. Only Facts, No claims or conclusion here.
Deconstruct the Argument:
An economist asserts that a free trade agreement will benefit Country A's automobile industry as long as the industry remains competitive globally; - Conditional.
that the industry will remain competitive as long as it continues to innovate; - Conditional
and that it will continue to innovate as long as it receives sufficient investment. - Conditional
State the goal:
We are looking for statement which 100% Must be true.
Either the sentence says something in the negative form of a sentence or it combines 2/3 sentences together (synthesis)
while reading I recognized some inferences. Conditional relation: Country A stop being competitive -> no benefits any more from the Free trade agreement.
Sufficient Investment -> Innovate -> Competitive (GLOBALLY) -> Benefit from Free trade agreement
So if one of them break the relations doesn't hold anymore.
Elimination:
A) One word off - It will remain competitive in general. We can't actually know if it will remain competitive Globally becuase in the relations part they omitted it. - Eliminate.
B) One word off - Same as Answer choice A, We can't actually know if it will remain competitive Globally because of the omitting the "globally" word. - Eliminate.
C) Correct - Recession (synonym of Insufficient investment) tells us there will not be enough money to invest in and then the all relations break.
D) OutofScope - We don't know that. the argument didn't talk about that. - Eliminate.
E) OutofScope - We don't know that. the argument didn't talk about that. - Eliminate.
THE END
I hope you liked the explanation, I have tried my best here.
Let me know if you have any questions about this question or my explanation.

Economist assets - a free trade agreement will benefit country A's automobile industry as long as industry remains competitive globally
that industry will remain competitive as long as it continues to innovate
that it will continue to innovate as long as it receives sufficient investment
Inference question:
(A) If the automobile industry in Country A receives sufficient investment, it will remain competitive globally.
-- If automobile industry receives sufficient investment, industry will remain competitive globally is a derived inference and looks good.
(B) If the automobile industry in Country A continues to innovate, it will benefit from the free trade agreement.
--it is a pronoun and refers to automobile industry , industry will benefit from free trade argreement . It twists the statement and hence out
(C) If there is a global recession, the automobile industry in Country A will cease to innovate.
--we are not told anyway how recession will impact, so out
(D) The automobile industry in Country A will receive sufficient investment indefinitely.
-- argument does not say industry will receive indefinitely so out
(E) Country A's economy will become the most dominant in the automobile sector globally.
-- nothing in argument infers that A's economy will become most dominant ...it just say free trade will benefit A's automobile industry. Hence out
A is the answer
