Passage Reading and English Comprehension

1089. Australia's economic growth slows down in second quarter, say economists. Annual economic growth in Australia has begun to slow as demand for natural resources slows around the world. Decreased growth in key developing countries such as China and India has taken its toll on the Australian economy, which is heavily based on the mining sector. Similarly commodity prices such as iron ore have also fallen in recent months, negatively effecting Australian mining company profits. A knock on effect of this is decreased investment in the Australian mining sector, hurting investment in the country. It is believed that this decline in demand for natural resources will continue throughout the year, and Australian economic growth is not likely to increase for some time.

Which one of the following statements is not correct?

(a) Australian mining company profits have been negatively effected
(b) The price of iron ore has fallen
(c) Increased growth in developing countries is to blame
(d) Investment into Australia has been hurt

Not all parts of the Irish economy have suffered, however, as agricultural exports are up by ten percent. The worst affected industry is that of construction, which recorded a record drop of twenty-five percent.

What part of the Irish economy is worst hit?

(a) Agricultural exports

(c) The construction industry

1093. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has announced plans to give the Republic of Ireland a further loan of four billion pounds over the next three years. This announcement comes as the Irish economy shows signs of stabilizing after new spending cuts were recently implemented. In addition to spending cuts, a rise in tax has also been announced.
