RC Question 16 Explanation

DISCUSSION: See lines 22-26. Answer choice E is a direct paraphrase of these lines.

The fastest way to answer this type of question is to find the relevant part of the passage first.

It takes a bit more time up front, but you can cut through the wrong answers like a hot knife through butter. They’re typically nonsense.

___________

1. This is something many real-world environmentalists fear. But it’s not something that steady-state economists mention. Be careful of outside assumptions that conflict with the passage.
2. I’m not sure what this means. It sounds like we’ll use more resources, but I don’t know if that means too many. Not every steady state economist thinks the economy is already using too many resources.
3. This doesn’t even mention the environment. It sounds like something a neoclassical economist might worry about.
4. This is something that neoclassical economists talk about, in lines 9-12.
5. CORRECT. Lines 22-26 say this directly.
