Comparing Cryptocurrencies and Stocks Based on Passage

The question asks us to identify the accurate comparisons between cryptocurrencies and traditional stocks, using the information provided in the passage.

Analyzing Investment and Market Behavior

Let's break down the characteristics mentioned in the passage:

  • Investment Involvement: The passage explicitly states, "Crypto currencies and traditional stocks both involve investment."
  • Volatility: It mentions, "Crypto currencies are highly volatile, stocks are relatively stable."
  • Market Fluctuations: The text further clarifies, "Both are susceptible to market fluctuations, albeit differently."

Evaluating Each Statement

Now, let's evaluate the four statements based on this information:

  • Statement (a): Crypto currencies and stocks involve no investment.

    This statement is inaccurate. The passage clearly states that both crypto currencies and stocks *do* involve investment.

  • Statement (b): Crypto currencies and stocks both involve investment.

    This statement is accurate. It directly matches the information given in the passage.

  • Statement (c): Crypto currencies and stocks both immune to market fluctuations.

    This statement is inaccurate. The passage mentions that both are *susceptible* to market fluctuations, not immune to them.

  • Statement (d): Crypto currencies and stocks react differently to market fluctuations.

    This statement is accurate. The passage highlights the difference in volatility (high for crypto, stable for stocks) and states they are affected by fluctuations "differently," supporting this comparison.

Conclusion on Accurate Comparisons

Based on the analysis:

  • Statement (b) is accurate.
  • Statement (d) is accurate.
  • Statements (a) and (c) are inaccurate.

Therefore, the statements that accurately compare cryptocurrencies and stocks as described in the passage are (b) and (d).
