The recent decline in the value of the dollar was triggered by a prediction of slower economic growth in the coming year. But that prediction would not have adversely affected the dollar had it not been for the government's huge budget deficit, which must therefore be decreased to prevent future currency declines.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion about how to prevent future currency declines?
The government has made little attempt to reduce the budget deficit.
The budget deficit has not caused a slowdown in economic growth.
The value of the dollar declined several times in the year prior to the recent prediction of slower economic growth.
Before there was a large budget deficit, predictions of slower economic growth frequently caused declines in the dollar's value.
When there is a large budget deficit, other events in addition to predictions of slower economic growth sometimes trigger declines in currency value.
had it not been 是虚拟语气的倒装 就是if it had not been 后面跟的就是原因
没有政府的大额财政赤字，预测不会对货币产生影响，也就是说政府的大额财政赤字会使得预测对货币产生影响，因此减少赤字就可以避免货币贬值。题目把政府的大额赤字和美元贬值联系起来。
D选项说没有赤字的时候也贬值了，说明两者之间没有关系。
