Question

PRESIDENT CARTER: We've brought down inflation. Earlier this year, the first quarter, we did have a very severe inflation pressure, brought about by the OPEC price increase. It averaged about 18 percent the first quarter of this year. The second quarter, we had dropped it down to about 13 percent. The most recent figures, the last 3 months, or the third quarter of this year, the inflation rate is 7 percent – still too high, but it illustrates very vividly that in addition to providing an enormous number of jobs – 9 million new jobs in the last 3 1/2 years – that the inflationary threat is still urgent on us . . . . So, our proposals are very sound and very carefully considered to stimulate jobs, to improve the industrial complex of this country, to create tools for American workers, and at the same time would be anti-inflationary in nature. So, to add 9 million new jobs, to control inflation, and to plan for the future with the energy policy now intact as a foundation is our plan for the years ahead. Which reasons and evidence does President Carter use to support his argument? Check all that apply. the decrease in inflation rates the increase in inflation rates the decrease in OPEC prices the increase in OPEC prices the number of jobs lost the number of new jobs created
the very first and very last one are the answer
