I think the answer is B. It is not A, for it IS mandatory as it says that in the text. It is not C, because it is not said in the text, and it is an opinion. And it is not D, yet it is true. It has not been spoken of in the text. Therefore, B is your best bet. Hope this helps!
Answer:
Deducting some percentage of amount from savings and investing them in bonds will give higher rates.
Explanation:
It is believed that bond is better than savings. Stocks and bonds together are as good as mutual funds and saving accounts together. So, Chris should increase the investment in Stock and deduct that amount from mutual. Also, he can deduct some amount form savings and invest in bonds. This would give him higher interest rates.
In a nutshell, there is some amount in mutual and some amount in savings, which would be beneficial in case there is any loss in stock and bonds.
Answer: C) The author proves that he's biased when he uses terms like "silly" and "stupid."
Explanation: The words "silly" and "stupid" are the only instances of evidence among the options, since they were taken directly from the text that is being discussed. The closest example of bringing the text's content into the discussion is in option C (stating what the author has expressed), but that option doesn't present any conclusion. Option A is presented as a personal opinion with a vague origin ("I feel") and option B tries to back the presented conclusion with an assumption ("the author obviously hates [...] fast food") instead of evidence.
