Review the underlined paragraphs on
pages 2-3 of both Passage 1 and
Passage 2
Which sentence BEST explains how the
views CONFLICT in these two paragraphs?
1)While President Reagan supports decreasing
spending, President Obama suggests
investing in new programs.
2)While President Reagan supports focusing on
individuals, President Obama suggests
helping businesses.
3)While President Reagan suggests recovery will
be slow, President Obama suggests a faster
solution.
4)While President Reagan supports lowering
interest rates, President Obama suggests
creating jobs. The passage is “The answer to the recession lies in bringing interest rates down. To do that, a signal must be sent that, while the political process always requires some compromise, government this time intends to stay the course; that we’re going to make further reductions in spending and hold to a steady consistent growth in the money supply-in short, that we’re going to come out of this recession not with a temporary, quick fix that leads to another recession down the road, but with a solid economic recovery based on increased productivity and jobs for our people.”
