Answers 2 and 3.

- 2 is correct: renters usually don’t pay for major maintenance/repairs — the owner does.
- 3 is correct (interpreting it as “mortgage/borrowing rates are high”): high interest rates make buying more expensive, so people may prefer to rent.
- 1 and 4 are wrong: having a large down payment or a long-term commitment to the area are reasons that make buying more attractive, not renting.
