Jorge: It is obvious that a shift in economic policy is needed, so why not proceed with the necessary changes all at once? If one wants to jump over a chasm, one would do it with one leap.
Christina: I disagree with your view, even though I agree that a shift in economic policy is needed. If one wants to teach a horse to jump fences, one should train it to jump lower heights first.
Jorge and Christina disagree over whether
(A) a shift in economic policy is not needed - WRONG. Exactly the opposite, they both agreed on this.
(B) revising current economic policy incrementally is like teaching a horse to jump fences - WRONG. This must be a farce.
Its like a philosopher taught something which a naive follower took literally.
(C) the
faster current economic policy is revised, the
less painful the initial changes will be - WRONG. It is not about how fast changes need to be made, but whether all changes be made at once or successively.
(D) the
economic changes should
not all be made at the same time - CORRECT.
(E) the current economic situation is grave - WRONG. This is agreed by Christina when they agree upon changes being needed.
Answer D.
