ANSWER 1
For each of the following areas, select Yes if the information provided indicates that the area's projected 25-year economic growth received a higher rating than that of Area 1. Otherwise, select No.
Area 2: Yes
Area 3: Yes
Area 4: No
The answer is Yes for Area 2 and Area 3 because the passage states that both of these areas received a higher rating for projected 25-year economic growth than Area 1. The answer is No for Area 4 because the passage does not mention the rating for Area 4's projected 25-year economic growth relative to Area 1.
ANSWER 2
For each of the following committee members, select Yes if the information provided suggests that the member would probably give Area 2 a greater priority over Area 3 for infrastructure funding. Otherwise, select No.
Mr. Hernandez: Yes
Mr. Li: No
Ms. Tansey: Yes
Mr. Hernandez: Mr. Hernandez argued for prioritizing allocation of funding to the areas that received higher overall ratings from the committee. Since Area 2 has a higher overall rating (B) than Area 3 (B-), Mr. Hernandez would likely give Area 2 a greater priority.
Mr. Li: Mr. Li argued for prioritizing allocation of funding based on need, determined as follows: the lower the rating for the state of existing infrastructure and the higher the rating for projected 25-year economic growth, the greater the need. Because Area 3 has a lower rating for state of existing infrastructure (D) than Area 2 (B), and a higher rating for projected 25-year economic growth (A+) than Area 2 (B), Mr. Li would likely give Area 3 a greater priority.
Ms. Tansey: Ms. Tansey argued for prioritizing allocation of funding to areas that have been given higher ratings for both capacity and readiness for economic development. Since Area 2 has a higher rating for economic development readiness (C) than Area 3 (C-), Ms. Tansey would also likely give Area 2 a greater priority.
ANSWER 3
The area that Ms. Wahid would prefer to receive top priority for infrastructure funding received which one of the following ratings for its readiness for economic development?
Ms. Wahid argued that areas that are expected to yield a larger percentage return on infrastructure investment should have a higher priority. Hence, highest priority will be given to Area 4, with the rating E.
Hence, answer is Rating E
For each of the following areas, select Yes if the information provided indicates that the area's projected 25-year economic growth received a higher rating than that of Area 1. Otherwise, select No.
Area 2: Yes
Area 3: Yes
Area 4: No
The answer is Yes for Area 2 and Area 3 because the passage states that both of these areas received a higher rating for projected 25-year economic growth than Area 1. The answer is No for Area 4 because the passage does not mention the rating for Area 4's projected 25-year economic growth relative to Area 1.
ANSWER 2
For each of the following committee members, select Yes if the information provided suggests that the member would probably give Area 2 a greater priority over Area 3 for infrastructure funding. Otherwise, select No.
Mr. Hernandez: Yes
Mr. Li: No
Ms. Tansey: Yes
Mr. Hernandez: Mr. Hernandez argued for prioritizing allocation of funding to the areas that received higher overall ratings from the committee. Since Area 2 has a higher overall rating (B) than Area 3 (B-), Mr. Hernandez would likely give Area 2 a greater priority.
Mr. Li: Mr. Li argued for prioritizing allocation of funding based on need, determined as follows: the lower the rating for the state of existing infrastructure and the higher the rating for projected 25-year economic growth, the greater the need. Because Area 3 has a lower rating for state of existing infrastructure (D) than Area 2 (B), and a higher rating for projected 25-year economic growth (A+) than Area 2 (B), Mr. Li would likely give Area 3 a greater priority.
Ms. Tansey: Ms. Tansey argued for prioritizing allocation of funding to areas that have been given higher ratings for both capacity and readiness for economic development. Since Area 2 has a higher rating for economic development readiness (C) than Area 3 (C-), Ms. Tansey would also likely give Area 2 a greater priority.
