Read this excerpt from President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, January 25, 2011.
The competition for jobs is real. But this shouldn't discourage us. It should challenge us. Remember-for all the hits we've taken these last few years, for all the
naysayers predicting our decline, America still has the largest, most prosperous economy in the world. No workers-no workers are more productive than ours.
No country has more successful companies or grants more patents to inventors and entrepreneurs. We're the home to the world's best colleges and universities,
where more students come to study than any place on Earth.
Which statement is the best summary of this excerpt?
Despite their criticism, most people envy the life of Americans. Despite competition for jobs, America remains a productive country.
People come from all over the world to live and study at America's colleges and universities.
America grants more patents to inventors and entrepreneurs than any other country in the world.
