Pick an answer to see how members did

The transit authority of a certain city announced plans for a daily subway pass, which would cost $2.50 and afford a passenger unlimited access to the subway over a twenty-four-hour period. A consumer advocate was unimpressed with this offer because it benefited only tourists and did nothing for the average city commuter, who rides the subway only to and from work each business day.

If each of the statements above is true, which of the following conclusions can be drawn about the city's subway system?

A. The transit authority's special committee will weigh the merits of the day pass when it reconvenes.

B. The average commuter is dissatisfied with the price of the subway and is turning to other methods of transportation.

C. Discounting the day pass would put a strain on funds normally reserved for emergency measures.

D. The cost of one ride on the subway, regardless of the length of the ride or the time of day, is no more than $1.25

E. A four-day pass at a cost of $10 would be equally useful to tourists.

Here, we need to draw out a logical conclusion from the statement.
Premise: plans were made for the subway pass by the transit authority of a certain city.

Option A - Incorrect
We are not concerned with who weighs the merits of the day pass. It doesn't help this line of argument.

Option B - Incorrect
This cannot serve as a conclusion to the argument because there were no complaints about the price of the subway pass; neither is there an alternative method for transportation.

Option C - Incorrect
This is outside the scope of this argument because the argument is not concerned with funds reserved for emergency measures.

Option D - Correct
The conclusion shows the reason why the consumer advocate is unimpressed with the offer.
If the cost for one ride on the subway is no more than $1.25, and access to the subway is $2.50, then it doesn't benefit an average commuter to spend $3.75 per day to and fro from work each business day.

Option E - Incorrect
This might benefit the tourist but does nothing for the daily commuter.

Thanks. Hope this helps?<i class="em em-v"></i>
