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.
   
   ANSWER: E

这个题的大概意思就是在W这个地方要上涨bus fare 为了减轻low-income resident 的经济压力 提出了一项用18块钱买20块钱车票的建议。专家提出了一个可替代的方案就是说用9元来买10元的车票，因为20元的支出有可能不被 low-income resident 所接受。 问题问替代建议基于了怎么的assumption。 E的意思就是 公交车公司只有18买20这一样购买方式。而这个购买方式不能被low-income resident所接受，中间有个gap，而这个gap就是E选项。所以选E。

选C吧，取非后是说low-come的人连$10的票都不会去买，所以就更不会去买$20的啦~

这题不是选C么。看来事后诸葛亮的解释果然很好用啊
