Confusing CR

by zaarathelab » Mon Jul 18, 2011 7:32 am
If the airspace around centrally located airports were restricted to commercial airliners and only those private planes equipped with radar, most of the private-plane traffic would be forced to use outlying airfields. Such a reduction in the amount of private-plane traffic would reduce the risk of midair collision around the centrally located airports.

The conclusion drawn in the first sentence depends on which of the following assumptions?

A)Outlying airfields would be as convenient as centrally located airports for most pilots of private planes.
B)Most outlying airfields are not equipped to handle commercial-airline traffic.
C)Most private planes that use centrally located airports are not equipped with radar.
D)Commercial airliners are at greater risk of becoming involved in midair collisions than are private planes.
E)A reduction in the risk of midair collision would eventually lead to increases in commercial-airline traffic.

You are at a very wrong place buddy.
This form is strictly for strategy discussion.Hence forth,post your question in verbal- CR thread.

To answer your question:
In my opinion it is C. It answers the last part of the first sentence:
'most of the private-plane traffic would be forced to use outlying airfields'
As according to the author most of the private planes that use the centrally located airports don't have radar equipments.
