Question

The argument that the need for a looser fiscal policy to ............ demand outweighs the need to .............. budget deficits is persuasive.

• A. assess ... minimize
• B. outstrip ... eliminate
• C. stimulate ... control
• D. restrain ... conceal

Hint:

Look for logical pairings that align with the overall argument of the sentence. In economics, "stimulating" demand and "controlling" deficits are common phrases.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In this sentence, a fiscal policy aimed at boosting demand would "stimulate" it, and the argument is about controlling budget deficits. "Stimulate" fits in the first gap, and "control" fits in the second. Therefore, Option (3) is correct. \[ \boxed{3} \]
