Multiple choice

Directions: Read the following passage/information and answer the question that follows.

  2. For a majority of buyers of new cars, high fuel-efficiency is the most important criterion in choosing a car.

  3. Many car buyers rate operating costs as less important than initial purchase price when choosing a car.

  4. Many car buyers prefer to purchase midsize and larger cars.

  5. The non-domestic manufacturers rarely offered rebates or low interest rates.
