Sentence two contradicts the statement made in the first sentence.
Sentence two shows an exception to the first sentence
Sentence two compares two kinds of speeches.
Which statement best reflects the organization used in this passage? The rise in personal debt in recent years is due largely to aggressive and unwarranted hustling by credit-card companies. Between 1990 and 1996, credit card debt doubled. Today, it is still rising. Credit cards with interest rates reaching nearly 20 percent are a remarkably lucrative (=profitable) part of the loan business. Debtors (=people who owe money) pay an average of $1,000 a year in interest and fees alone, money that could instead have been used for a college or retirement fund. Using subtle tactics to tempt unwary consumers to borrow, credit-card companies have led consumers to hold more cards and to fork over a bigger and bigger fraction of their income to the companies.
