逻辑刷题第三天（7）——by Balloner

1.     The city ofWorkney, in raising bus fares from $1.00 to $1.25, proposed that 18 fare tokensbe sold for $20.00 to alleviate the extra burden of the fare increase on thecity's poor people. Critics suggested alternatively that 9 fare tokens be soldfor $10.00, because a $20.00 outlay would be prohibitive for poor riders. Thealternative proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?

(A)    Poor residentsof Workney will continue to ride the buses in the same numbers despite the fareincrease.

(B)    Riders whoare poor would be more likely to take advantage of the savings afforded by the9-token offer than would riders who are not poor.

(C)    The outlayof $10.00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for busriders who are poor.

(D)    Theproposed fare increase is needed for the purchase of new buses for the city'sbus system.

Fewerriders would regularly purchase 18 fare tokens at once than would purchase only9 fare tokens at once
