Q15:

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?

1. Low-income residents of Workney will continue to ride the buses in the same numbers despite the fare increase.
2. Low-income riders would be more likely to take advantage of the savings afforded by the 9-token offer than would other riders.
3. The outlay of $10.00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for low-income bus riders.
4. The proposed fare increase is needed for the purchase of new buses for the city’s bus system.
5. Buses provide the only means of public transportation in the city of Workney.    答案:c 可以幫忙解釋這題嗎?

个人理解:

这道题的推理过程是:因为20块钱18张票对低收入的人来说太贵了,所以应该改为10块钱9张票的政策

推理的gap是:10块钱=低收入付的起的价格

所以C选项正好填补了这个Gap

这里是讨论是否用10块钱这个方案的问题,是10块和20块方案的比较,其他的都是无关项.所以dphxmg分析的正确
