Why Is a Typical Person Likely to Gather More Information

question 2

Multiple Choice

• B)because it is less costly to acquire information about consumer items than it is about political candidates
• C)because buying a new car affects a person more immediately and personally compared to voting for a Member of Parliament; in the latter, a person's vote is only one of many voters and therefore, not likely to have a large impact on the outcome
