A、 Statement (1)ALONE、is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
B、 Statement (2)ALONE、is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.

Over the course of a year, a certain house appreciated in value by 10 percent while the house next door decreased in value by 10 percent as a result of foundation damage.At the end of the year, the reduced price of the second house was what percentage of the increased price of the first house
(1) The amount by which the first house increased in value was half as much as the amount by which the second house decreased in value.
(2)At the end of the year, the second house was worth $70,000 more than the first house.
网考网参考答案：A
网考网解析：
alone is sufficient; it allows you to infer that the initial value of the second house was twice that of the first house, so if x is the initial value of the first house and y is the initial value of the second house, y can be expressed as 2x. At the end of the year, the ratio of revised values of the second house to the first was 1.8x:1.1x; which can be expressed as a percentage as 164 percent. (2) alone is insufficient, because there are many values of both houses for which the statement could be true. document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
