    Question

    Statement: A city administration plans to reduce

    traffic congestion by introducing higher parking fees in the central business district. The officials believe that higher parking costs will discourage people from using private vehicles and encourage the use of public transportation. Which of the following assumptions is most necessary for the administrationтАЩs plan to succeed?
    A Public transportation in the city is affordable and accessible to most commuters. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Parking spaces in the central district are currently insufficient. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Traffic congestion mainly occurs during office hours. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Some commuters prefer private vehicles for convenience. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The city has recently expanded its road network. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The plan assumes that when parking becomes expensive, people will switch to public transportation. This is only possible if public transportation is accessible and affordable. If it is not accessible, commuters may continue using private vehicles, making the policy ineffective. Hence (a) is the necessary assumption.
