Wide dissemination of wireless networks in cities is a practical way to meet the needs of city households, schools and businesses. Rural communities have found that wireless networks are both more reliable and cheaper than land-based networks. Which of the following would most likely be cited by a supporter of the argument? • Urban areas do not pose additional problems for the effective operation of wireless networks. • Wireless networks work far better where population density is low. • Iceland, a very rural country, successfully uses wireless networks. • The expenses of wireless transmission in areas with large buildings is much higher. • Poor neighborhoods have less access to cable internet than do educators or businesses. As there is no conclusion stated I approached this ques with the mentioned part "be cited by a supporter" but no success.

• Urban areas do not pose additional problems for the effective operation of wireless networks.
• Wireless networks work far better where population density is low.
• Iceland, a very rural country, successfully uses wireless networks.

As there is no conclusion stated I approached this ques with the mentioned part "be cited by a supporter" but no success. IMHO B. Rural area >>> less population (assumption..!!) >>> wireless networks are both more reliable and cheaper than land-based networks.

IMO: A. We are asked to pick a choice that a supporter of the conclusion will endorse. The passage concludes that deploying wireless networks is advantageous. So, a supporter of this conclusion will only talk about the advantages and not mention the disadvantages. Which of the choices support wireless networks? Choice A.

My answer is A. The passage specifies wireless networks are useful in cities as well as rural communities. • Urban areas do not pose additional problems for the effective operation of wireless networks. >> Yes. This is how I see the passage. • Wireless networks work far better where population density is low. >> Not mentioned in passage. • Iceland, a very rural country, successfully uses wireless networks. >> Not related here. • The expenses of wireless transmission in areas with large buildings is much higher. >> Not mentioned about expense. • Poor neighborhoods have less access to cable internet than do educators or businesses. >> This sentence can not be inferred from passage given.

I am thinking B, because it gives an additional reason to install wireless services in rural areas.
Not A, because no additional problems in urban areas do not mean no additional problems in rural areas.

OA is A. Good job. Today, I looked at this question from a different perspective. The conclusion in stated in the beginning and then premise is stated. Question asked which option can be raised by a supporter. So, I think the correct answer choice must be a mix of Assumption + Strengthen. Now, placing the conclusion after the premises and adding the conclusion indicator:Rural communities have found that wireless networks are both more reliable and cheaper than land-based networks. Therefore, Wide dissemination of wireless networks in cities is a practical way to meet the needs of city households, schools and businesses. So, only A act as the required assumption to support and strengthen the conclusion. Plug-in A b4 the conclusion: Rural communities have found that wireless networks are both more reliable and cheaper than land-based networks. Because Urban areas do not pose additional problems for the effective operation of wireless networks. Therefore, Wide dissemination of wireless networks in cities is a practical way to meet the needs of city households, schools and businesses. OR another way to prove:Rural communities have found that wireless networks are both more reliable and cheaper than land-based networks. Therefore, however Urban areas do not pose additional problems for the effective operation of wireless networks,Wide dissemination of wireless networks in cities is a practical way to meet the needs of city households, schools and businesses.

Thank you for detailed analysis. First, I got the problem wrong, but after your explanation, I understood that the only answer could be A.

I have found this one very tricky. I didn't understand that this one was a strengthen question because I didn't find the conclusion. In stimulus like this one, how can you find the conclusion?
