<p>See below. The correct answer is supposedly D. </p>

<p>I don’t know how D is correct. How did he correlate unemployment with a lack of supply (cars)? </p>

<p>Before looking at the answer choices, my first thought was “embargo.” Unfortunately, that isn’t an answer choice. </p>

<p>The sentence would make more sense if it was phrased as such:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What do you think? Am I just missing something?</p>

<p>D? I don’t know.</p>

3

<p>I’d say D because:
A: “we” wouldn’t build foreign cars, another nation would
B: what would repairing foreign cars (apart from domestic cars) have to do with unemployment/economy?
C: makes no sense whatsoever
D: makes some sense
E:consolidate? yeah no. </p>

<p>This is a weird question, but process of elimination leaves you with D</p>

<p>D is very clearly the right answer. The person (“he”) knows that there is high unemployment in the domestic auto industry, which implies that fewer cars are made domestically. The sentence goes on to mention that “he” feels that _<strong><em>ing foreign cars is bad (i.e. that it should not be the solution to the domestic unemployment). The _</em></strong> should be something like purchase, import, buy, etc. D is the answer.</p>

<p>POE also works. A, B, C, and E are clearly wrong.</p>

5

<p>In this sentence, “while” doesn’t mean “although” – it means “during times in which” (though the sentence structure would seem to indicate otherwise).</p>

<p>The sentence might have been better phrased as:</p>

<p>“He believed that we should not ------- foreign cars when unemployment in our own auto industry is so grave.”</p>

6

<p>Yeah. I think D is the right answer as well.</p>

<p>This sentence is tricky because at first read, you think that while means although… but it actually means during</p>
