    The government justifies large-scale expressway

    projects by arguing that better road connectivity directly boosts regional economic development. Officials cite reduced travel time and improved logistics as evidence that such projects inevitably create jobs and attract investment to nearby towns. Which of the following is an underlying assumption in the government’s argument?
    A Investors and businesses consider transport connectivity a major factor when deciding where to locate operations. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Job creation and investment growth are the only indicators of regional development. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Construction workers employed on the expressway are primarily from the surrounding region. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Other infrastructural factors like power supply or internet access, are already adequate in those towns. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The reduction in travel time will continue even after vehicle numbers increase over the years. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The argument assumes that better roads attract investors; without this, the link between roads and growth collapses.
