GMAT CRITICAL REASONING OLD QUESTIONS REVIEW
29.There are fundamentally 2 possible changes in an economy that will each cause inflation unless other compensating changes also occur. These changes are either reductions in the supply of goods and services or increases in demand. In a prebanking economy the quantity of money available, and hence the level of demand, is equivalent to the quantity of gold available.
If the statement above are true, then it is also true that in a prebanking economy
(A)any inflation is the result of reductions in the supply of goods and services
(B)if other factors in the economy are unchanged, increasing the quantity of gold available will lead to inflation.
(C)if there is a reduction in the quantity of gold available, then, other things being equal, inflation must result
(D)the quantity of goods and services purchasable by a given amount of gold is constant.
(E)whatever changes in demand occur, there will be compensating changes in the supply of goods and services.

这是归纳题， 无需推理，只需根据原题得出结论即可，因为the quantity of gold与the level of demand是equivalent的，所以demand increases 的时候，会inflation,可见the quantity of gold increases 也会导致inflation。作者: crane_gh 时间: 2003-7-24 21:11
