Springfield Fire Commissioner : the vast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street corners . Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone , these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness . Therefore , we propose to remove the boxes . Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire>
Which of the following , if true , most strongly supports the claim that the proposal . if carried out , will have the announced effect
A The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from
B a telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box
大家觉得选哪个啊?
In one state , all cities and most towns have antismoking ordinance . A petition entitled “ petition for statewide smoking restriction “ is being circulated to voters by campain workers who ask only .’ Do you want to sign a petition for statewide smoking restriction ?” the petition advocates a state law banning smoking in most retail establishments and in government offices that are open to the public .
Which of the following circumstances would make the petitionj as circulated misleading to voters who understand the proposal as extending the local ordinances statewide ?
The state law would not affect existing local ordinances baning smoking in places where the fire authorities have determined that smoking would constitute a fire hazard
Health costs associated with smoking cause health insurance premiums to rise for everyone and so affect nonsmokers
In rural areas of the state, there are relatively few retail establishment and government offices that are open to the public
The state law would supersede the local antismoking ordinances, which contain stronger bans than the state law does
There is considerable sentiment among voters in most areas of the state for restriction of smoking
