HELP PLEASE ASAP!!

1. Tom owns a small hardware store. He is concerned that a large hardware superstore might move into town. With which of the following arguments would Tom most likely agree?

There is no need for small stores today.
Higher taxes on small stores will keep the superstores out of town.
Superstores provide superior customer service.
The new superstore might drive out small businesses like his.

2. "Washington lobbyists are working in Congress to block the rural reforms you (small farms) need," Obama said. "Rather than investing in rural opportunity, our government is handing out subsidies (money) to corporate mega-farms. Over the past decade, our government has handed out $1.3 billion in federal farm money to people who aren't even farmers. We've even got farm money going to Fortune 500 companies."

Special interest groups often have impact on government policies. Why might small rural farmers wish to band together to create an interest group?

To have a better shot at receiving the farm subsidies
To compete with each other for funding
In order to reduce the amount of government funds provided to farmers
In order to put large companies out of business

Answer:

1. The new superstore might drive out small businesses like his.

2. To have a better shot at receiving the farm subsidies.

Explanation:

It seems likely that Tom would agree with the statement that superstores drive out small businesses such as his hardware store. We can conclude this because Tom is worried about the stores driving him out of business.

The main reason why small rural farmers might wish to band together to create an interest group is because in this way, they might find more strength in numbers. By being a larger group, they might be able to put more pressure on politicians which means they would have a better shot at receiving the farm subsidies.
