This is an inference question. The easiest way solve this particular question is to use elimination. You can quickly eliminate A, C, D, E because A, C, D, E are not supported by the question stem. That left us with B. To verify B, you can try "deny test". Negate B, we get "Making the Russian ruble freely convertible to Western currencies will NOT cause the ruble’s value to decline". This directly contradicts the stem, because if the opposite of B is true, government doesn't need to wait "until the question of ownership of state enterprises ... resolved" to make the ruble freely convertible. Therefore, B is more likely an inference of the passage. I have to admit that strictly speaking, the opposite of one statement contradicts the stem doesn't necessarily mean the statement itself is an inference of the stem. But, for this particular question, it's the best way to attack -- as far as I can think of. BTW, maybe you want to reformat your post to make it a little easier to read, so more folks may be willing to answer you? |
