Emily: This plan to issue bonds to raise money to repair the bridges over the river will waste a lot of money. The city insists on preserving the bridges’ historic character, but that will more than double the cost of the repairs. And the city will have to pay a huge amount of interest on the bonds. That makes this plan a very inefficient way to pay for these urgently needed repairs, so we should oppose it.
Juanita: But the bridges really do need repairs to keep them safe enough to use. Thousands of cars cross the bridges every day, so the city cannot just close all the bridges for safety until it finds funding for the repairs. Despite the bond plan's flaws, we have to support it.

Official Explanation
RO1
The question asks about the speakers’ disagreement regarding the funding of the bridge repairs. Emily says that the plan will waste a lot of money and is inefficient. Juanita says that even though the bond plan is flawed, the city cannot just close the bridges until it finds funding for the repairs. Thus, Juanita believes the bond plan is prudent, while Emily believes it is not. Neither speaker discusses the likelihood that the bond issue will raise the needed funds, and thus there is no evidence that they disagree about how possible, unlikely, or difficult it would be to fund the repairs. As discussed in the analysis of RO2, both speakers believe repair of the bridges is urgent, so they do not disagree about the urgency of funding repairs.
The correct answer is prudent.
RO2
The question asks about the speakers’ agreement regarding the bridge repairs. Emily calls the repairs urgently needed, and Juanita says the bridges really do need repairs to be safe. Thus, both speakers agree that the repairs are urgent. Neither speaker considers the nature or difficulty of the repairs themselves, so there is no way to conclude that they agree about how possible, unlikely, prudent, or difficult the repairs will be.
The correct answer is urgent.

The two speakers disagree on how PRUDENT it would be to fund repairs of the bridge since Emily is saying that The city insists on preserving the bridges’ historic character, but that will more than double the cost of the repairs. And the city will have to pay a huge amount of interest on the bonds. And this plan is efficient while Juanita is saying that thousands of cars cross the bridge so there is safety flaw,so despite the plan' flaw we need to support it.
but agree on how URGENT it is for repairs to be made,since Juanita is talking about case of daily 1000 cars crossing the bridge and Emily also saying that urgent repair is needed,only the case is that unnecessary cost is taken under the plan
