Due to high jet fuel costs, airline carriers are looking for new ways to increase revenues and thereby counteract declining profits. Airline A has proposed increasing the number of passengers that can fit on its airplanes by creating several standing room only "seats" in which passengers would be propped against a padded backboard and held in place with a harness. This proposal, since it relates to passenger safety, cannot be implemented without prior approval by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The above statements, if true, indicate that Airline A has made which of the following conclusions?

The addition of standing room only "seats" will generate more revenue than the cost of ensuring that these seats meet safety standards.

The Federal Aviation Administration will approve Airline A's specific proposal.

The revenue generated by the addition of standing room only "seats" is greater than the current cost of jet fuel.

There are no safer ways in which Airline A can increase revenues.

Passenger safety is less important than increasing revenue.

This seems more an assumption question than a conclusion. Look at it from the point of airline carriers, what would have they thought before they finalized this proposal of adding seats?

A - seems the most logical fact as the airline carrier seem to be unaware of the approval procedure. They probably ignored the fact or weren't aware of it and hence concluded their plan would succeed.

B - As stetted for option 'A', They don't seem to be aware of approval before they finalized the plan


C - They talk about increasing revenues from their current state (declining profits), might not be reasonable to expect they compensate for the fuel costs.

D - Again other ideas is out of scope here. They probably didn't even consider alternate plans.

E - You obviously cannot conclude this.

A IMO

It's A. As the Airline A has proposed the proposal hence it must assumed that the Aviation Administration will approve the proposal and it must also concluded that the proposal will generate more revenue after meeting the cost of safety measures.
