Question
Which one of the following statements about competition would those responsible for the antitrust laws most likely agree?
Options:
A .  Competition is essential to consumers' welfare
B .  There are acceptable and unacceptable ways for firms to reduce their competition.
C .  The preservation of competition is the principal aim of the antitrust laws.
D .  Supracompetitive prices lead to reductions in competition
Answer: Option B
:
B
The most crucial element while answering this question is that we should base our answer on the information available in the passage alone. The passage does not talk about competition being essential to consumers’ welfare. Hence, option A can be eliminated. Prevention of abuse of monopoly power is the principal aim of antitrust laws, option C is wrong. Option D is irrelevant. In the passage, the author talks about acceptable and unacceptable ways to reduce competition (third and fourth paragraphs) making B the correct answer.
