we can't.

but the problem is the opposite: you declare that a few things are "extremely possible", but then you go on to construct an argument that actually revolves around the assumption that those things ARE TRUE.
if you just leave it as a possibility - which is all that you can do - then your objection doesn't hold any water.

this is one of those cases where you should take the simplest possible argument, with the least number of assumptions possible. in this case, the simplest situation, with the least assumptions, is that the country can't substantially increase its exports without ramping up production - a situation that's precluded by the fact that production is already peaking.

if you still want to argue the point, let me leave you with the following: it's their test, not mine. you've seen the sort of reasoning that's allowed on it as well as the sort of reasoning that isn't.



i understand.

do remember, though, that disagreeing with gmac will not exactly do wonders for your score.



i suppose all those hours in the public library were worth something, now, weren't they....
