248. (a) an economic history of Japan (Because the passage starts with the Japan's economic systme since eighteenth century)
249. (d) A small business has to struggle to meet operating expenses when its profits decrease (Because the situation described in the para suggests that Shoguns found the economic conditions such that people found it difficult to meet both ends meet as the profits decreased)
250. (b) Mildly sympathetic (Because the author has used the term "humblest samurai" )
251. (a) spending had outdistanced income (Because the passage tells about the increasing expenditure and mentions that it "failed to keep pace with their expenses")
252. (c) There was a limit to the amount in taxes that farmers could be made to pay (Because the passage tells that "Direct taxation of the samurai themselves would be politically dangerous")
253. (c) remained within families (Because the passage points out the laxity of the tax collector's office citing the reason as "the nearly inevitable outcome of hereditary office-holding")
254 (d) The difficulty of increasing government income by other means (Because the last line is "This left the shoguns only commerce as a potential source of government income" which reflects the difficulty of increasing government income)
255. (b) Most of the country’s wealth appeared to be in city merchants’ hands (Because the second para tells that "Most of the country’s wealth, or so it seemed, was finding its way into the hands of city merchants" so the Tokugawa shoguns turned to city merchants for help in financing the state)
256. (a) raised the cost of living by pushing up prices (Because the second para tells that "Unfortunately, they pushed up prices")
