Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: Large national budget deficits do not cause large trade deficits. If

Hi,

Between B & C :
(B) Reliable comparisons of the deficit figures of one country with those of another are impossible.
- The passage mentions comparison of adjusted deficit figures > Implying deficit figures are not comparable reliably 'without adjustment' >> Why does it not come under 'impossible' if it gives a condition (Is it not a necessary condition?))

(C) Reducing a country’s national budget deficit will not necessarily result in a lowering of any trade deficit that country may have.

Follow Up>> How to go by selecting best of two shortlisted options?, eg in above I was fine with C & B both but selected B as I figured para talks about a necessary condition
