Due to high jet fuel costs,

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.

Our aim is to attack the below piece of the stimulus

Due to high jet fuel costs, airline carriers are looking for new ways to increase revenues and thereby counteract declining profits.

Option C - "The revenue generated by the addition of standing room only "seats" is greater than the current cost of jet fuel", tells that.

A, B and C are out for me

B-out of scope

A and C are assumptions for me

C
E is out bcoz of the following:

We don't know that the proposed plan is safer or not; it may be safer
we need to wait for the result from federal department :-)

D is also out for the same reasons.....and this is pretty strong also....

I find D a little bit away from the stimulus. A looks closer to the issue discussed. I would go for A. what is OA?
