Difficulty—

Rail Executive: Five years age we discontinued train service between Lamberton and its suburbs because low ridership caused total fares collected to be substantially lower than the cost of operating the service it is true that recent population growth in the suburban communities suggests increased potential ridership, nevertheless since most of the newer residents own automobiles, restoring the train service this year would still result in serious deficits

Which of the following ,if true casts the most serious doubt on the rail executive's argument?


A. once train service along a given route has been discontinued ,there are substantial start-up costs associated with restoring service along that route

B. most of the new residents of Lamberton's suburbs do not need to travel into Lamberton regularly for shopping or recreation

C. if train service were restored this with increased hours of service there would not be an increase mcrease in total ridership

D. A survey conducted last year showed that few people living in Lamberton or its suburbs support increased public funding for mass transportation

E. Recently there have been sharp increases in parking fees in Lamberton and in highway tolls on major commuter routes

Option A:- INCORRECT
If true that there are substantial startup cost associated with restoring service along the route, this doesn't seem to cause any serious doubt on the rail executive's argument.

Option B:- INCORRECT
If the new residents of lamberton's suburbs do not really need to travel into lamberton regularly, it means that there won't be a demand for train service, therefore this doesn't cause any serious doubt to it but rather supports the argument.

Option C:- INCORRECT
Even if the train service is increased in hours of service, no increase in total ridership happens to be one of the reasons for the rail executive's argument and doesn't cause any serious doubt to it, but rather supports the argument.

Option D:- INCORRECT
This option shows that a few people lining in the lamberton supports increase funding for mass communication but these few people are not enough to change the status of the rail executive's argument.

Option E:- CORRECT
This option seems to cause a serious doubt to the rail executive's argument because if there is a sharp increase in parking fees and highway tolls in the lamberton, most of the residents will have to fall back to the use of the train service for transportation which will lead to high ridership and cause a doubt to the argument
