Which of the following is true in context of the passage?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step analysis:

1. Statement (1): The passage describes American anger at “globalism” and opposition within the US to the TPP, but it does not claim that global public opinion is against American trade policies. Thus (1) is unsupported.

2. Statement (2): The passage contrasts well‑paid, highly skilled workers with low‑cost labour in other countries; it gives no claim that wages of low‑skilled American workers have risen tremendously. In fact, the tone implies wage benefits concentrated among skilled workers. So (2) is false.

3. Statement (3): The passage notes that TPP might raise American output by just under a percentage point over the next 15 years (i.e. $<1\%$), but it does not state that US GDP growth has fallen in recent years. Therefore (3) is not supported.

4. Statement (4): The passage says American cities enjoy an advantage in the lucrative parts of the supply chain (R&D, engineering, finance), implying continued leadership in technology-related activities. So (4) is contradicted.

5. Conclusion: None of (1)–(4) are supported by the passage, so the correct choice is (5) None of these.
