Got this question in a practice test..
OA is C..
My take is for B..
The last sentence talks about rise in airfares,but the OA seems to talk about low air fares..
CAN someone explain
Since the deregulation of the air travel industry in the late 1970's, air fares have been relatively low and the number of passenger-miles flown has been increasing. In recent months, however, air fares have risen but the number of passenger-miles flown is still going up.
Which of the following can most reasonably be inferred from the statements above?
A)The cost of air travel does not affect the number of passenger-miles flown.
B)People are now flying to destinations that they formerly reached by train or by other modes of transportation.
C)Factors other than low air fares must be contributing to the rise in the number of passenger-miles flown.
D)Takeovers in the deregulated air travel industry have been responsible for the rise in air fares.
E)Air fares can climb even higher without causing a drop in the number of passenger-miles flown.
Thanks
