What is Phuong’s opinion on the big international hotel chains?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To determine Phuong’s view, we examine each option in turn and relate it to the stated opinion.
Option A: 'They hardly benefit the local economy.' This would mean Phuong believes the big international hotel chains contribute little or negatively to local economic growth, perhaps due to limited local sourcing or profit repatriation. If this aligns with Phuong’s stated opinion, it suggests a critical stance toward the chains’ economic impact.
Option B: 'Their employees often come from other countries.' This statement focuses on labor sourcing and workforce composition rather than overall economic benefit. If Phuong’s view centers on economic impact rather than staffing dynamics, this option would misstate the main point, unless she explicitly linked labor origins to broader economic effects.
Option C: 'They bring big business to the local economy.' This portrays a positive economic impact, emphasizing tourism-related revenue, job creation, and increased economic activity. If Phuong’s opinion is negative or nuanced about benefits, this option would misrepresent her stance unless she argued that large chains boost the economy in a favorable way.
In interpreting the question, we need to match the option to Phuong’s intended stance. Given that the provided correct answer is A, Option A asserts a critical view of the chains’ economic contribution, claiming they hardly benefit the local economy. The reasoning behind choosing this reflects a perspective that large chains may extract profits, limit spillover effects to local businesses, or create dependencies that don’t translate into broad local gains. 
Option B assigns a fact about labor sourcing; without tying that to overall economic impact, it doesn’t directly express Phuong’s broader opinion on the chains’ value to the local economy, making it a less direct match to a general opinion about benefit. 
Option C advocates a positive impact by bringing big business, which contradicts the critical stance suggested by Option A and would only be correct if Phuong explicitly supported that positive assessment. Since the aim is to state Phuong’s opinion, this option would be inconsistent with Option A’s negative framing. 
Overall, the reasoning connects each option to a plausible interpretation of Phuong’s opinion, clarifying why A aligns with a critical view of economic benefits while B and C diverge in focus or in positive framing.
