In harsh economic times, there is a shift in business from mainstream retail stores to discount retail stores as consumers aim to reduce their total monthly spending. For local discount stores, when unemployment rises or effective wages decline due to inflation or another cause, sales go up. By contrast, however, during periods of extreme economic hardship, business at discount stores stops improving and may even suffer.

Which of the following, if true, does most to explain the contrast described above?

A. During extreme economic hardship, businesses that are located near discount stores and which also cater to lower spending levels also suffer.

B. The lower overall levels of consumer spending are, the more discount stores will benefit.

C. When discount stores flourish, they may be able to hire additional staff and raise effective wages.

D. During extreme economic hardship, consumers may continue to reduce total spending even after they have shifted their purchases to the most economic outlets available.

E. Except during periods of extreme economic hardship, discount stores tend to thrive more in economies benefitting from a direct economic stimulus, which increases spending cash.

Which of the following most logically completes the passage?

A tropical thorn forest was cleared and converted by humans into soybean fields. The loss of the original habitat poses a fatal threat to the area's population of cuis, which are wild guinea pigs. Ecologists originally estimated that the cuis in the area would vanish within four years. Two years, the population of cuis is already cut in half, but it is unlikely that they will completely vanish from the region within the next two years, since _______________.

A. the soybean farmers in the area intend to plant two crops of soybeans this year rather than the usual single crop

B. the original plans to clear additional nearby thorn forest have not been expanded in scope, as had been considered

C. the last cuis to remain alive are likely to be the most resilient

D. viscachas, a form of burrowing rodent also indigenous to thorn forests, have vanished from the area more slowly than expected

E. the local population of the maned wolf, a major predator of the cuis, has declined faster than predicted from the loss of habitat

if-a-b-and-c-are-not-equal-to-zero-what-is-the-difference-between-t-212473.html

How is the answer 18?
I'm getting 20

If a and b both become negative then it will have +3 value which will basically be 1-1-2+3-4=-3

So the minimum value will be when a is positive

The minimum value is when a b c is -ve and d is +ve right

No so it's like
If we consider what you are saying then we will get something like this :
1+a/(-a) +2b/(-b)+ 3(a)(b)/(-a)(-b)-4c/(+c)

From here we get 1-1-2 *+3*-4

As (-a)(-b) = +ab

I hope this explains : so if we take a as positive number we will get something like this

1+1-2-3-4=-7

This one gives a more negative number so basically the least possible number

Got it. Thanks!
