Antonia: The stock market is the best place to invest your money these days; although it is often volatile, it provides the opportunity to make a large profit quickly.

Maria: I agree that the stock market provides the opportunity to make large profits quickly, but one is just as likely to take a huge loss. I think it is better to invest in savings bonds, which provide a constant, reliable income over many years.

Speaker 1 Summary
The stock market is the best place to invest your money. Why? Because you can make a large profit quickly in the stock market.

Speaker 2 Summary
I think savings bonds are the best place to invest your money. Why? Because they provide constant, reliable income over many years.

Objective
We need a statement that Antonia and Maria disagree on. They disagree about what is the best place to invest money. Antonia thinks the best place is the stock market because you could make a large profit quickly. Maria thinks the best place is through savings bonds because they provide reliable income.

A
the stock market is often volatile but provides the opportunity to make a large profit quickly
Both speakers agree with this statement. This is the reason why Antonia concludes that the stock market is the best place to invest. Maria also agrees that a person could profit quickly in the stock market, but does not think it is the best place to invest.
B
savings bonds can provide a large return on one’s investment
Antonia does not express an opinion on this statement. Antonia only speaks to the stock market being able to turn a large profit quickly.
C
the stock market provides the opportunity for an investor to make a constant, reliable income over many years
Neither speaker expresses an opinion on this statement. We only know from the stimulus that both speakers believe the stock market could turn a large profit quickly.
D
it is safer to invest in savings bonds than to invest in the stock market
Antonia does not express an opinion on this statement. We don’t know what Antonia’s beliefs are about savings bonds from the stimulus.
E
it is preferable to pick an investment offering a reliable income over a riskier opportunity to make a large profit quickly
Antonia and Maria disagree on this statement. Antonia would disagree and conclude that the stock market is preferable. Maria would agree and conclude that savings bonds are preferable.
