Judging from the article you just read, which of the following terms best defines the attitude of consumers?
Judging from the article you just read, which of the following terms best defines the attitude of consumers?
Excerpt: Sales forecasts are gloomy . . . due to anxieties over the downturn in the economy and its effect on consumer spending.
This is correct. The article tells us that worries about the economy have had a negative effect on consumer spending. An "anxious (person)" is someone who is worried, nervous, concerned or uneasy.
This is not correct. The article tells us that "consumers are reluctant to make costly trips" because of high energy prices, but it is anxiety about the economy which has had a negative effect on consumer confidence.
This is not correct. "Optimistic" is a positive term, and suggests that consumers think there will be a period of strong economic expansion. The article, in contrast, speaks of "gloom", "desperation", "downturn" and "anxiety".
