Complete Question Explanation
Must be True question. The correct answer choice is (C).
Line (43) of the passage, which refers to "Japanese integrated producers" is offered as a counter idea to the belief that labor-intensive machinery is the cause of the poor performance of the US industry. Japan, who uses less energy and labor but produces a higher-quality product, is also experiencing economic trouble, so clearly there are other factors at work.
Answer choice (A): Line (43) is not highlighting the different economic difficulties of other nations, it is trying to show that economic difficulties persist regardless of whether the labor-intensive machinery the US uses is employed.
Answer choice (B): This is irrelevant.
Answer choice (C): This is the correct answer choice. Line (43) alludes to this idea by comparing the machinery used in US and Japan but pointing out their shared economic difficulties.
Answer choice (D): This is irrelevant.
Answer choice (E): If this is true, why would the author discuss Japan's machinery and economic difficulties? The author is trying to make a point about the persistence of economic hardships regardless of machinery used.
