Questions this year are as unchallenging as they have always been, and there's not much room for controversy over the answers.
Option B and C in MCQ42 may confuse students. Here goes the explanation:
The data shows that the growth rate of the value of imported goods is higher than the growth rate of the value of exported goods, yet from this we cannot conclude anything on the rate of change in their volume. As the value of exported goods is presumbly larger than the value of imported goods, with a lower growth rate of the former, we cannot conclude on the change in their value and therefore the change in the visible trade balance. There is no any objective rule to decide which constitutes a better choice.
That's it. Time to go to class. It was a busy day; dessert has to come later, but won't be deserted.
