Answer 2

A). It describes government measures to stimulate demand and bring about a recovery.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given passage from the former U.S. President Barack Obama's 2009 speech, the statement that best elaborates the passage is displayed through option A i.e. 'It describes government measures to stimulate demand and bring about a recovery.' The president's assertion that the measures or plan including '2,500$ tax credit and extended unemployment benefits' adopted by the government would be helpful for the 'families who are struggling to pay tuition costs' and the 'jobless Americans.' This would assist in restoring the demand that would assist in recovering the economy from the recession and stabilize it. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
