Difficulty—

Groverton Mass Transit Authority: Constructing the county's new express bus service lanes will require the closure of several main traffic arteries for at least a month. Construction work could be done primarily overnight with less traffic disruption; however, overnight labor costs are considerably higher. Therefore to minimize the economic impact to our residents, the authority recommends that construction occur during normal business hours.

The recommendation made by the Groverton Mass Transit Authority to construct the express bus service lanes during normal business hours assumes which of the following?

A. The majority of Groverton's residents would be able to commute with minimal disruption while the express bus service lanes are under construction.

B. Upon completion, the new express bus service lanes will likely be used by many of Groverton's residents.

C. Whether overnight or during regular business hours, construction of the express bus service lanes is expected to take the same amount of time and require the same number of workers.

D. The economic cost of any time lost due to construction of the express bus service lanes during regular business hours won't exceed the economic cost associated with overnight construction.

E. The economic value of the express bus service lanes to Groverton residents would not surpass the costs associated with overnight construction.

Option A:- Incorrect
The recommendation statement clearly indicates that less traffic disruption can only be accomplished when the construction is done overnight. Therefore this option negates the statement.

Option B:- Incorrect
The question is not about who or not is in position to use the road to be constructed but achieving the construction of road, the economic impact of constructing this road and the activities of the current users and the cost implications on those in charge of the finances and how to balance the two sides.

Option C :- Incorrect
This option does not correlate with the instance given in the question; construction cost will be more expensive for night jobs while it will be cheaper during regular business hours.

Option D:- correct
This is the only option that correctly replicates the idea projected in the question above. This is the translation of the decision, for those in charge of the construction to approve running the construction project during regular hours means that the loss incurred from disrupting business can't measure up to what will be spent on overnight labor.

Option E:- Incorrect
This is also true but does not mostly satisfy the interpretation of the question.
