The officials in Town X have suggested that the proceeds from the recent benefit concert be used to repave the streets in the downtown area. When this decision is voted upon in the fall, a majority of the town's citizens are expected to approve this allocation of funds. After all, according to a recent survey, most citizens are in favor of improvements that will benefit local merchants.
Which of the following choices is NOT an assumption that is being made by the author?


A.Well-paved streets near local merchants benefit their businesses.


B.The citizens do not feel that the money is better spent on other town improvements.


C.Local merchants have stores in the downtown area.


D.Streets in highly traveled areas need to be repaved periodically.


E.The people recently surveyed accurately represent the opinions of those who will vote on the repaving decision.

It does not seem good to just post your answers without reasons why do you think that answer is right!

I think C...
As the others seem like assumptions. This one seems like a statement.

A - Local merchants will be benefited. But how? When their business will grow. Seems Plausible Assumption.

B - If the survey is to be trusted then the citizens are favoring the repaving of streets. There may be some proposals at hand but they are supporting the repavement. hence Valid assumption.

C - Why the local merchants will be benefited. They ought to have their shops located near the downtown area. A valid assumption.

D - We can't judge anything about the traffic load in downtown area. May be some construction work has led to the degradation of downtown streets. hence Not a valid assumption.

E - If there is no credibility of the survey itself then entire statement of the problem will be in PROBLEM. Hence It must be an assumption.

I as confused between B and D. But D seems a strong answer.

The conclusion states that everone would vote for this improvement as this would benefit local merchants. Load more traveled and benefit to local merchants are not necessarily related.
