Answer 6

I think so. I guess Jared would be more supportive of the "oil" part, and Samantha would be more supportive of the "foreign" part, but D does seem like a statement they'd both agree with in some way

Answer 7

Although, Samantha would probably agree with C, and there's no direct reason why Jared *wouldn't* agree with that one...

Answer 8

Hmm, so which one would be the best answer?

Answer 9

Answer 10

Answer 11

mainly because Jared wants to start looking for alt sources for energy which throws off what i thought (c) but they would both agree on D

Oh I actually hadn't meant it that way; I was having trouble deciding between C and D. But when you put it that way, that makes sense!
