• (E) only a small fraction of available music is frequently pirated, whereas the majority remains unaffected by piracy

Studies have shown that countries experiencing currency depreciation often see an increase in exports and a decrease in imports. This phenomenon can be attributed to the fact that a weaker currency makes domestic goods relatively cheaper for foreign buyers while making foreign goods relatively more expensive for domestic consumers. However, not all countries experiencing currency depreciation witness the same level of impact on their trade balance. Analysis of data from various countries reveals that nations with a larger share of export-driven economies tend to benefit more from currency depreciation compared to those with a higher reliance on imported goods. Which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn from the information provided above?

• (A) Countries heavily reliant on exports are immune to the effects of currency depreciation on their trade balance.
• (B) Currency depreciation could lead to a decrease in both exports and imports for some countries.
• (C) The impact of currency depreciation on a country's trade balance depends on its trade composition and reliance on imports.
• (D) Countries with a larger share of export-driven economies are more likely to experience currency appreciation rather than depreciation.
• (E) Currency depreciation has a significant impact on a country's trade balance, regardless of its reliance on imports or exports.

Scholar: A newly discovered manuscript attributed to William Shakespeare must have been written after 1600 but before 1605. We believe it cannot have been written earlier than 1600 because it references a historical event that occurred in that year, and it cannot have been written after 1605 because it contains a reference to a play that was first performed in that year. Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

• (A) No copies of the referenced play were available to Shakespeare after 1605.
• (B) Shakespeare did not revise or edit his manuscripts extensively.
• (C) The referenced event in 1600 was widely known and documented at the time.
• (D) The ink used in the manuscript can be accurately dated.
• (E) Shakespeare's writing style did not change between 1600 and 1605.
