Zorluk: KolayInference and Logical Deduction

Read the passage carefully and answer the question that follows:

To reduce urban traffic congestion and carbon emissions, the Department of Public Transportation introduced a dedicated bus rapid transit (BRT) lane policy across three major corridors. Under this regulation, all private vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering the BRT lanes during peak operational hours. Recent monitoring data indicates that overall bus transit times dropped by 25 percent along these corridors. However, total traffic volume on adjoining side streets increased by 15 percent during the same peak hours, as private vehicle drivers sought alternative routes to avoid penalties.

Based strictly on the information in the passage, which of the following statements can be logically inferred?

  1. The restriction on private vehicles using BRT lanes prompted some drivers to shift to adjacent side streets during peak operational hours.Cevap
  2. B
    The reduction in bus transit times resulted in a dramatic increase in public transportation passenger numbers across the entire city.
  3. C
    Private vehicles are completely and permanently banned from entering the BRT corridors at all times of the day.
  4. D
    The Department of Public Transportation will implement dedicated BRT lanes across all remaining urban routes in the next fiscal year.

Cevap

The restriction on private vehicles using BRT lanes prompted some drivers to shift to adjacent side streets during peak operational hours.
The correct option is directly supported by the passage, which explains that private drivers sought alternative routes during peak hours to avoid penalties, thereby raising traffic volume on adjoining side streets by 15 percent.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the passage for stated facts regarding private vehicle drivers and side street traffic.
The passage explicitly mentions that traffic volume on adjoining side streets grew by 15% during peak hours because private drivers sought alternative routes.
A valid inference must follow logically and necessarily from explicit facts in the text.
2
Evaluate the derived conclusion against the given choices.
The statement regarding drivers shifting to adjacent side streets directly mirrors the cause-and-effect factual relationship established in the text.
Inferences must rely solely on given premise facts without external assumptions.
