Review: Commodities Prices VI
Explanation
In this question, we can formulate an answer before
looking at the choices, even if our prediction is inexact: the author makes a
claim, one which is contrary to a common conception, and then he presents data
to support that claim. Turning to the answer choices, we find that (D) is
appropriate, since he is "refuting." He doesn't propose more than one
interpretation, so (A) is out. And he is challenging a view, not resolving an
argument, so (B) is out. We have no sense that the data he presents are new, or
that the theory he challenges is discarded, so (C) and (E) are out.
The correct answer is (D).
