The stimulus only discusses low-income and high-income households and concludes that household indebtedness could not have caused the recessions. Well what about middle class households? Couldn't their indebtedness have caused the recession? Answer choice A brings up this possibility.

True.

The stimulus only shows two of the possible outcomes for household debt recession causing relatedness (lol). Answer choice A in question 11 brings out the possibility that middle class families had enough debt to decrease spending (as discussed in the stimulus). That goes against, rather, doesn't follow the two ends of the spectrum that the stimulus offers.
