Question Explanation

Text Explanation

On skimming through the statements, it is evident that Options A and D do very little, if at all anything, to support the author's claim. Option C, in its current form, aligns with the author's assertion; however, if false, it is opposite to the author's argument about financial literacy {on negating the statement, it indicates that most people do have an understanding of the workings of the financial world}. Option B, if false, is in line with the assertions made in the concluding paragraph.
