TTGWD2-Q15，B选项未讨论过。。

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.

answer C, I can understand, but why B is wrong? thx

我觉得

可能是因为文章中没有提到other riders

Low-income riders would be more likely to take advantage of the savings afforded by the 9-token offer than by the 18-token

好像更合理一些 我也做错了这道题， 所以不敢确定

有没有人和我一样觉得C选项说了跟没说一样的？

对，我就是觉得，完全等于没说，害我都没敢选

c 就像是屁话一样
