为什么答案B的ruble values不是上升?
(B) Making the Russian ruble freely convertible opt Western currencies will cause the ruble’s value to decline.
Privatization of the large state enterprises that comprise the industrial sector in Russia is proceeding slowly, due to competing claims of ownership by various groups. Continued government subsidization of these enterprises creates large deficits that drive up the inflation rate and cause the ruble’s values to decline. It is therefore unlikely that the government will make the ruble freely convertible to Western currencies until the question of ownership of state enterprises has been resolved. If the author’s prediction concerning the ruble is accurate, which one of the following conclusions can most reliable be drawn?
(A) The industrial sector accounts for at least fifty percent of Russia’s economic activity. (B) Making the Russian ruble freely convertible opt Western currencies will cause the ruble’s value to decline. (C) The Russian government can indefinitely withstand the expense of subsidizing state enterprises. (D) The Russian government is among the groups claiming ownership of certain state enterprises. (E) The Russian government is under pressure from the West to make the ruble freely convertible to Western currencies.
