  1. Question 1

    Q1. Passage contrast. Paragraph 1 stresses faster loan approvals. Paragraph 2 warns that faster approvals correlate with higher default rates in the cited study. Which synthesis is most balanced?

    • A) Speed always removes risk automatically
    • B) Efficiency gains may trade off with credit risk
    • C) Defaults never happen when loans are quick
    • D) Studies never measure approval speed

    Answer: Efficiency gains may trade off with credit risk

    Explanation: Paragraph 1 claims a benefit (speed) while paragraph 2 introduces a cost (higher defaults); a balanced synthesis must acknowledge that efficiency and credit risk can exist in tension.
