Correct Answer: E
Explanation:
This is clearly the best answer because the paragraph
directly states that warm weather affects
consumers’ inclination to spend. It furthers
states that the sales of single-family homes was
at an all-time high. There is no support for
choice a or c. Choice b is wrong because even
though there were high sales for a particular
February, this does not mean that sales are not
higher in other months. Choice d presents a
misleading figure of 4 million. The paragraph
states that the record of 4.75 million was at an
annual, not a monthly, rate.
