Answer 1

Based on the given passage, the statement 'He traveled from New York to Montreal in June.' could be true, as it is associated with the sequence of events involving James's visits to Franco's Park during his truck transport trips.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'He traveled from New York to Montreal in June.' can be evaluated based on the passage given. Since it is established that whenever James drives a truck to transport goods from New York to Montreal, he visits the St. Warwick Church and Franco's Park, and subsequently when he visits Franco's Park, he buys flowers, we can use this sequence of events to assess the claim.

Given that we know James visited Franco's Park in June, and that this visit is associated with his truck driving from New York to Montreal, we can infer that he likely made the drive during that time as well. Therefore, the statement 'He traveled from New York to Montreal in June.' could be true based on the sequence of events described in the passage.

Answer 2

The statement that 'He traveled from New York to Montreal in June' could be true, as the passage implies a regular pattern between visiting Franco's Park and transporting goods, but it doesn't explicitly confirm the truck trip in June. The correct answer is: 'could be true'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage provided establishes that whenever James drives a truck to transport manufactured goods from New York to Montreal, he visits St. Warwick Church and Franco's Park, and consequently, buys some flowers. It is also mentioned that James visited Franco's Park in June. Based on this information, the statement 'He traveled from New York to Montreal in June.' is most accurately marked as 'could be true'.

The passage confirms a visit to Franco's Park but does not directly confirm the transport from New York to Montreal in June. However, since his visit to Franco's Park usually accompanies these truck trips, it is reasonable to infer that such a trip could have taken place.
