* CR : Both a stable government and good climate

by direstraits007 Sat Apr 18, 2009 8:41 am

Both a stable government and good climate are essential for economic growth in Zone 1 countries. Country X does not enjoy economic growth, but has a good climate and a stable government.
It must be true that:
A. "˜Country X is not in Zone 1
B. "˜Country X is in Zone 1
C. The economic growth of countries outside Zone 1 has nothing to do with good climate or a stable government
D. "˜Country X’s economic growth does not depend on good climate and stable government alone
E. None of the above

OA: D.

My take on this is A, because we can't assume anything outside the stimulus and according to the given stimulus, if any country of Zone 1 having a good climate and a stable government should be having a good economic growth. But since country X is not having a good economic growth despite having a good climate and a stable government proves that it is not belonging to Zone 1.

What say ?

Thanks.
Thanks!
