Based on what you have just read, which of the following matches the description of a power suit?
This is the description which best matches a good power suit, as described in the article. We read that "Navy blue is the best color for your power suit". "Navy blue" is dark or deep blue. We also learn that "your power suit should have pinstripes". "Pinstripes" are thin stripes or lines. Finally, the journalist writes that you should "spend more than you can really afford" on your power suit. To "be able to afford" something is to have enough money to pay for it. To "spend more than you can afford" is therefore to spend lots of money, making the ideal power suit expensive!
This is not the best choice here: power suits should not be "cheap" or "inexpensive".
