Thirty years ago, the percentage of the British people who vacationed in foreign countries was very small compared with the large percentage of the British population who travel abroad for vacations now. Foreign travel is and always has been expensive from Britain. Therefore, British people must have on an average more money to spend on vacations now than they did 30 years ago. The argument requires assumption of which one of the following?

(1) If foreign travel had been less expensive 30 years ago, British people would still not have had enough money to take vacations abroad.

(2) If travel to Britain were less expensive, more people of other countries would travel to Britain for their vacations.

(3) If the percentage of British people vacationing abroad was lower 30 years ago, then the British people of 30 years ago must have spent more money on domestic vacations.

(4) If 30 years back more British people had enough money to vacation abroad, more would have done so.

NOt sure if this a trick one, but I go for 4, looks really obvious though.

IMO d
Reason:
now people have more money ,so they are going abroad for vacation.If they would have had the same more money ,they would have enjoyed their vacations abroad 30 yrs ago..

i would like to re-open this thread...

what is the problem with 1.?? am unable to figure it out...

was stuck between 1. and 4. .. was convinced that ans is 4. but then :roll:

is it wrong because it simply talks about the money for vacation and not people actually going for the vacation??

It will be 4

1 is not at all supported by information

(1) If foreign travel had been less expensive 30 years ago, British people would still not have had enough money to take vacations abroad.

its not an inference question so we have to take the choices as it is....

the answer wont be affected by whether 1 is supported by stimuli or not ... question is can we plug in 1. and strengthen the argument
