Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is highly unlikely that the federal government only spent $1.5 billion or $10.5 billion on defense over a period of six years. On the other hand, $1.5 trillion or $10.5 trillion are both quite large sums, but $10.5 trillion would be an astronomical amount to spend on defense in just six years. Therefore, the most reasonable answer choice is C, $1.5 trillion.
