题目信息

The city of Workney, in raising bus fares from $1.00 to $1.25, proposed that 18 fare tokens be sold for $20.00 to alleviate the extra burden of the fare increase on the city's low-income residents. Critics suggested alternatively that 9 fare tokens be sold for $10.00, because a $20.00 outlay would be prohibitive for low-income riders.

The alternative proposal depends on which of the following assumptions?

A:Low-income residents of Workney will continue to ride the buses in the same numbers despite the fare increase.

B:Low-income riders would be more likely to take advantage of the savings afforded by the 9-token offer than would other riders.

C:The outlay of $10.00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for low-income bus riders.

D:The proposed fare increase is needed for the purchase of new buses for the city's bus system.

E:Buses provide the only means of public transportation in the city of Workney.

C The outlay of $10.00 for the purchase of 9 fare tokens would not be prohibitive for low-income bus riders. 10元支付9张票对于低收入者来说没有太高正确

D The proposed fare increase is needed for the purchase of new buses for the city's bus system. 涨票价是用来做什么无关选项

E Buses provide the only means of public transportation in the city of Workney. 公交是唯一交通工具无关选项
