As part of major renovations to Flowertown's Main

Expert replies

As part of major renovations to Flowertown's Main Street train station, consultants to the train company proposed moving the station's entrance from its current valuable Main Street location to a low-rent adjoining side street and then leasing the high-rent entrance space to retail businesses. In that way, the train company could easily pay for those and all other proposed renovations without negative impact on its tight budget.

Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the consultants' proposal?

(A) More train commuters are employed in businesses located on Main Street than in businesses located on the adjoining side street.
(B) A reliable survey of Flowertown's commuters showed that virtually none of them would use the train any less frequently if the station's entrance were moved.
(C) The high-rent block of Flowertown's Main Street includes several buildings whose owners currently seek to replace long-standing tenants lost in recent months.
(D) If the station's entrance were moved, the train company would need to begin costly renovations to its Main Street entrance space.
(E) Ridership on Flowertown trains declined only slightly from 1970 to 1985 while other train companies lost large numbers of commuters.

This question asks us to strengthen the consultant's proposal.

The consultants propose moving the Main Street train entrance, which is located in an expensive area, to a new, cheaper location. The former entrance could be rented out to gain additional income.

This proposal assumes that moving the train entrance to a new location will have no unforeseen drawbacks.

Answer choice (A) is irrelevant.
Answer choice (B) suggests that at least one of the potential drawbacks (fewer riders because of the chance in entrance) will not occur. This is a strong choice.
Answer choice (C), if true, suggests that there may be some vacancy in the high rent area. However this information, if anything, suggests that the plan may fail more than that the plan may succeed. Eliminate.
Answer choice (D), if true, suggests that moving the entrance would be expensive. This does not support the plan, rather it weakens it.
Answer choice (E) is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with the proposal.
