finance wrote:A city's chancellor of schools has proposed charging a fee of $500 per year for students who are bused from outside the neighborhood to attend the city's most overcrowded magnet school, claiming that the fee will relieve the overcrowding. The chancellor reasons that this fee will motivate many parents of children at this school to send their children to other city schools where no such fee will be charged.

Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the chancellor's reasoning is flawed?

(A)
Projected increases in the cost of mass transit will increase the cost of transporting children to the overcrowded school from outside the neighborhood.

(B)
The cost of required special supplies currently makes the overcrowded magnet school more expensive for students' parents than are other city schools.


(C)
The parents of most children attending other city schools do not currently have the option of sending their children to the overcrowded magnet school.

(D)
Many parents opposing the chancellor's plan have indicated that they would rather currently have the option of sending their children to the overcrowded magnet school than pay the $500 fee.


(E)
Thirty percent of the students who attend the overcrowded magnet school live within the school's neighborhood.

PLS! Explain!
