Question ID:PT41 S1 Q13 Passage:Robin:  When a region's economy is faltering, many people lose their jobs.  As a result, spending on consumer goods declines, leading in turn to more lost jobs and a worsening of the economy.  Eventually, the economy becomes so bad that prices collapse; the lower prices encourage people to increase spending on consumer goods, and this higher spending results in economic improvement.Terry:  People cannot increase their spending if they have no jobs and no money for anything other than basic necessities, so price collapses cannot lead to economic improvement. Stem:Which one of the following, if true, most undermines Terry's objection to Robin's analysis? Correct Answer Choice:CChoice A:Companies hire more workers after the economy starts to improve again, and many newly hired workers then make long-deferred purchases. Choice B:Even when economic conditions are worsening, consumers realize that the economy will eventually improve. Choice C:Even people who do not lose their jobs spend less in bad economic times and thus have savings available to spend when prices collapse. Choice D:People who have lost their jobs must continue to buy some basic goods such as food, even during bad economic times. Choice E:The prices of some consumer goods remain stable, even during a general price collapse.
