Sample question

Sample question · Main conclusion

City planner: Many residents have argued that the proposed bike lanes on Elm Avenue will worsen traffic congestion because they will take away a lane now used by cars. But this concern is misplaced. Traffic counts show that during peak hours Elm Avenue's second lane is occupied mainly by double-parked delivery vehicles, so it does little to move cars now. Moreover, in three comparable cities, adding bike lanes to similar streets was followed by no measurable increase in commute times.

Which one of the following most accurately expresses the overall conclusion drawn in the city planner's argument?

  1. A Because delivery vehicles double-park in it, Elm Avenue's second lane does little to move cars at peak hours.
  2. B Residents' concern that the bike lanes will worsen congestion on Elm Avenue is unfounded.
  3. C Adding bike lanes to a busy street has not increased commute times in any city that has done so.
  4. D Double-parked delivery vehicles are the main cause of traffic congestion on Elm Avenue.
  5. E The proposed bike lanes on Elm Avenue should be built as soon as possible.
Show the answer

B is correct: the planner says the residents' concern 'is misplaced' and offers the traffic counts and the comparable-city evidence as reasons for that claim, so B restates the conclusion.

A: This is a supporting claim, drawn from the traffic counts and offered in support of the conclusion; it is not the conclusion itself.

C: The planner cites only three comparable cities; this sweeping generalization is neither stated nor concluded.

D: The planner says delivery vehicles occupy the second lane, not that they are the main cause of congestion.

E: The planner argues only that one objection fails; recommending immediate construction goes beyond the argument.
