Rationale: The correct answer, B, is the best summary of the instructor's motive in sending the email to the students because it emphasizes adaptability and the need to change plans when necessary. The instructor is likely addressing a situation where the original plan may need adjustment, such as addressing concerns about grades or changing project requirements. This quote reflects the instructor's willingness to be flexible and responsive to challenges that may arise during the course. Choice A focuses on student concerns about grades, not the instructor's motive. Choice C highlights the purpose of a group project, which is not directly related to the instructor's motive for sending the email. Choice D mentions the instructor's strict grading policy but does not provide insight into the motive behind sending the email.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Efficient money management. In the context of the passage, "economy" refers to the efficient use and management of money. This definition aligns with the overall theme of the passage, which discusses the importance of making wise financial decisions. Explanation: 1. Economy is not just about the exchange of money, goods, and services (choice A), but more about managing money efficiently. 2. Delegation of household affairs (choice B) is too specific and doesn't encompass the broader concept of economy. 3. Less expensive (choice D) is not a definition of economy but rather a result of practicing efficient money management. In summary, choice C is the best definition as it captures the essence of economy in the context of the passage.
