Question

Statement: Complaints were raised against the town's sole French teacher for using her monopoly to charge more than her late predecessor. In fact, however, she does not earn more money on each lesson than she would have before because she lives out of town and her fee reflects higher transportation costs than those of her predecessor, who lived in town. Proposed Assumption: Service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive.

A. Assumption Made
B. Assumption Not Made

Answer 1

The proposed assumption, 'Service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive,' is Assumption Made. This is because the question states that the town's sole French teacher charges more due to higher transportation costs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proposed assumption, 'Service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive,' is Assumption Made.

This assumption is made because it is stated in the question that the town's sole French teacher charges more than her late predecessor due to higher transportation costs. This implies that when service providers spend more on transportation, they tend to charge more to cover those costs.

Therefore, the assumption is that service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive.
