The city of Workney, in raising bus fares from $1.00 to $1.25, proposed that 18 fare tokens be sold for $20.00 to alleviate the extra burden of the fare increase on the city’s low-income residents. Critics suggested alternatively that 9 fare tokens be sold for $10.00, because a $20.00 outlay would be prohibitive for low-income riders.
The alternative proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. Low-income residents of Workney will continue to ride the buses in the same numbers despite the fare increase. B. Low-income riders would be more likely to take advantage of the savings afforded by the 9-token offer than would other riders. C. The outlay of $10.00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for low-income bus riders. D. The proposed fare increase is needed for the purchase of new buses for the city’s bus system. E. Buses provide the only means of public transportation in the city of Workney.

该题说政府打算涨价车票，从1元上升至1.25元。然后为了保障低收入人群，允许20元买18张车票。（原本18张车票价格为1.25*18=22.5元，现在20元，节约2.5元）反对者说，20元会使低收入人望而却步（注意关键词prohibitive），建议10元买9张。问反对者基于的假设。 C. 10元不会使低收入者望而却步。正确。非常清晰。取非则削弱了结论。作者: 太太傻傻 时间: 2011-10-10 10:36
