I don't think it is A or B...

alones · Answer

Hrmm which one would u guess?

memyselfandpi · Answer

Because Samantha does not want to depend on foreign countries, and not much is said about hurting the environment..

memyselfandpi · Answer

C? I'm stuck on this...

alones · Answer

That is true, so far D and C are left

memyselfandpi · Answer

Because D says we must become less dependent on oil, but Samantha is saying we should use offshore drilling to find oil.

memyselfandpi · Answer

So my answer is C...

memyselfandpi · Answer

But nothing on this has to do with taxes...

alones · Answer

Hrmm i was thinking C too

alones · Answer

What if you go with D?

memyselfandpi · Answer

Hmm...  But "Samantha suggests that offshore drilling will help us reduce our dependency on foreign oil."  That means that she wants to be dependent on oil...

#AintNobodyGotTimeForThat

arabpride · Answer

I’m kinda leaning toward D.) but I have no idea. :P
idk idk

memyselfandpi · Answer

A, (Incorrect because Samantha wants to NOT have foreign oil)
B, (Incorrect because nothing has to do with the environment and protecting it)
C, (Incorrect because there is nothing to do with taxes)
D, (Incorrect because Samantha likes using oil and offshore drilling)

I think they are all wrong, but I have to pick one.  If i had to pick one it would be between C and D, and it would be C..

arabpride · Answer
