Many economists assume that governmental corruption hinders economic development, because businesses must spend much of their income on expensive bribes. But an international survey found that in the past decade, economic growth in percentage terms has been just as rapid in nations with more corrupt governments as in other nations.
Which of the following, if true, most helps resolve the apparent discrepancy described above?
(A) In most nations, businesses spend much of their income on taxes and compliance with regulations, regardless of the level of governmental corruption.
(B) In the past decade, the proportion of business income spent on taxes has, on average, declined faster in nations with more corrupt governments than in other nations.
(C) In general, an increase in the amount of income that businesses must spend on bribes substantially reduces the after-tax income of those businesses.
(D) The strengthening of laws against corrupt practices can make a country’s economy more attractive to investors.
(E) In the past decade, the proportion of business income spent on bribes has, on average, been highest in the nations with the most corrupt governments.
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
The Bluewater Hotel usually earns half its yearly revenue during the year’s first quarter, when typically all its rooms are occupied. At other times of the year it has many vacancies. This year the Bluewater was closed throughout the first quarter while damage caused by a severe storm at the end of last year was repaired. Nevertheless, the Bluewater is unlikely to see this year’s revenue drop to half of a normal year’s revenue, since __________.
(A) the closure this year will not affect its revenue next year, provided the Bluewater is open during next year’s first quarter
(B) few of the other hotels in the region were forced to close for repairs after the storm
(C) the cost of the repairs was less than half of a normal year’s revenue
(D) it is extremely unlikely that any storm this year will be so severe as to cause damage comparable to the damage caused by the storm last year
(E) many of the customers who would ordinarily have stayed at the Bluewater during the first quarter will probably reschedule their stay for later in the year
