A nonprofit organization in Motor City has proposed that local college students be given the option to buy half-price monthly passes for the city's public transportation system. The nonprofit claims that this plan will reduce air pollution in Motor City while increasing profits for the city's public transportation system. However, this plan is unlikely to meet its goals, as_____________ .


Conclusion The plan of providing half price monthly pass to city's Publication Transportation system for the students is unlikely to meet its goal .

Premise :

1.The nonprofit claims that this plan will reduce air pollution in Motor City while increasing profits for the city's public transportation system

we are we need to strengthen this conclusion

let's analyse
In what scenario, the plan is unlikely to meet its goal.
what if the students who were given half price for the cities Transportation system don't like to to use public transport..In that case the plan will not meet its goal..
With this understanding let's go for POE


(A) most college students in Motor City view public transportation as unsafe

1. This can be my answer.. if most college student in motor city view public transport as unsafe then less than 50% student may use public transport .In that case we have a strong reason to believe that the plan may not achieve its intended goal

(B) most college students in Motor City view public transportation as prohibitively expensive

1.Most college students in motor city view public transportation as expensive but right now they are given a choice to travel in half price .so it doesn't provide a strong belief that students may not opt for the public transportation

(C) college students typically do not have the 9-to-5 schedules of most workers, and can thus be expected to ride public transportation at times when there are plenty of empty seats

-- This is a weakener to the conclusion

(D) a bus produces more air pollution per mile than does a car

-- This is out of scope to the conclusion


(E) a large proportion of the college students in Motor City live off campus[/quote]

-- This is a weakener to the conclusion


A is the best choice and is my answer
