Answer:
2) assumption not made
Explanation:
The original statement does not include any assumption about what the companies are doing about this issue, it just proposes an idea of fair compensation. 
maybe whoever wrote this statement believes that very few companies or none at all actually compensate homeowners for a reduction in the market value of their properties, but it doesn't state it. It is also possible that the statement assumes that companies are paying some compensations or were paying some compensations but are not willing to continue to do it since no legislation forces them to do so. The author's position is vague and not clear with respect to what the companies are currently doing.

Answer:
A. We should expect higher interest rates and lower stock prices.
Explanation:
Producer price index refers to the price that producers recieve for their products. When there is an increase in PPI it means producers are receiving more revenue.
Increased revenue will result in more money in circulation. To regulate the excess money the monetary authorities will increase interest rate to reduce borrowing and by extension money in the economy.
Because there is now a need to get more funds by the companies, they will lower share prices to make them attractive to prospective investors.
