Which of the following conclusions can most properly be drawn from the information above?
This is an inference question, so there may be no conclusion present.
Quote:
Stronger patent laws are needed to protect inventions from being pirated. With that protection, manufacturers would be encouraged to invest in the development of new products and technologies. Such investment frequently results in an increase in a manufacturer’s productivity.
stronger patent laws = inventions not pirated.
this will in turn result in:
manufacturers shall be encouraged to develop new products and technologies.
this will further lead to:
Increase in productivity of manufacturer.
Quote:
(A) Stronger patent laws tend to benefit financial institutions as well as manufacturers.
Not necessary. may be manufacturers have enough cash in their reservoir to fund new innovations and they might not take loans.
Quote:
(B) Increased productivity in manufacturing is likely to be accompanied by the creation of more manufacturing jobs.
Not really, what if new innovation is done by automating existing machinery.
Quote:
(C) Manufacturers will decrease investment in the development of new products and technologies unless there are stronger patent laws.
We are not sure what will happen when there are no strong patent laws.
Quote:
(D) The weakness of current patent laws has been a cause of economic recession.
Way out of scope!!
Quote:
(E) Stronger patent laws would stimulate improvements in productivity for many manufacturers.
Lovely mild language: would simulate. Yes, the prompt does give a hint to infer this choice.
