In my sense C is not, if author assumed that Drivers do not avoid highway just because they have to pay tolls which means they dont care if toll station exist or not. So as usual it is same traffic that was there before toll stations removed. How it could be answer?

The argument is assuming that the after the tolls are removed, there won’t be any traffic increase and thus the traffic congestion would decrease.
What C is saying is that the reason people that avoided the highway was not because of the toll, so if the tolls are removed, there would be no extra traffic.
Also if you negate C, it says that the reason why people avoided the toll IS because of the toll payment. Hence if the toll is removed, more people would use the highway and the congestion would increase. That destroys our conclusion

Got it but still not compromised..... as the conclusion is to solve the traffic congestion problem isn’t it? So if already highway avoided people bcz of other reasons than toll payment will not choose highway just because of toll removal. But if currently highway using people continue to use right? So how it is an assumption ..

Anyhow thanks for the explanation

In my opinion the assumption is usually not connected directly to the conclusion, here the option C says that the people do not avoid coastal highway because they are ready to pay for the maintenance through toll but the only problem arising would be the collection of toll through some other method, because we removed toll booths to reduce traffic

So the option tells us that it is assumed that removing the toll booth won’t affect the revenues of the highway, as I said it’s just my opinion that usually the assumption is a little distinct from the elments of the conclusion that why I think this option is better

C is correct because the underlying assumption is that removing the toll booths won’t further aggravate the situation. This is exactly what C tells us. If we negate this option the argument falls apart.
Negated version: Most people who drive to destinations readily accessible via Coastal Highway avoid Coastal Highway because of the tolls that they would have to pay to use it. Because if most do avoid the highway because of these toll booths then removing them would definitely make the situation worse.

B has nothing to do with the conclusion. It doesn’t fill the gap.

The conclusion is: donations to campaigns must be allowed in order to
facilitate the election of people who will safeguard the interests of citizens of modest financial means.

nowhere in the argument its mentioned that wealthy people who win elections cannot or will not safeguard the interests of citizens of modest
financial means.

that is the assumption

Not having ans currently.

But seems correct

I’m looking upto C as well but at the same time thinking that it is already given in the Passage.

D is the only contender. I think we can reject D because the conclusion does not claim that the photographs had caused a significant part of the reduction in smoking.

If it doesn’t have significant effect, then why the survey in the first place?

They took the survey just to confirm whether it had any effect at all. Based on the response, they concluded that it had caused at least part of the reduction.

They did not conclude that advertising ban had no effect at all.
