Compared to chain stores, local stores spend 6 percent more on hiring local workers. Local charities report significantly higher donations from local businesses. In one town, United Way received most of its income from two local groceries, a hometown bank, and a handful of local specialty shops.

2. Chain stores are more popular in communities than local businesses.
3. Local businesses can have a large impact on their communities.
4. Local businesses care more about making money than chain stores.
3. Local businesses can have a large impact on their communities.
The correct inference that can be made based on the information in this paragraph is:

This inference can be made because the paragraph states that local businesses spend 6 percent more on hiring local workers compared to chain stores, and local charities report significantly higher donations from local businesses. Additionally, in one town, United Way received most of its income from local businesses. These examples suggest that local businesses have a positive impact on their communities.
