Jonathan: Have you heard about this new proposed development project? They want to build a 950-unit apartment complex along the waterfront. That means that over 1,000 additional
vehicles will be passing through the main downtown intersection each day, which will increase fumes and congestion to unacceptable levels.
Daria: Is that really such a large increase? When I'm sitting at the downtown coffee shop, I see at least 50 vehicles go through that intersection every time the light changes. Assuming
the light changes every three minutes, that's 1,000 vehicles passing through every hour.
Daria's argument relies on the assumption that
(A) changes in the traffic light patterns could mitigate the effect of the development
(B) the traffic at the time of day Daria sits at the coffee shop represents a typical level
(C) residents of apartment complexes usually own at least one car per apartment
(D) Jonathan's understanding of the impact of fumes and congestion on the quality of life downtown is reasonably accurate
(E) large numbers are useful talking points for political opponents of development because they are easily misinterpreted

This is quite interesting:
We have Dalia saying that at some point in the day * morning for those who drink coffe * there are 1000 cars in one hour which in her argument is not "really such a large increase? "
Pre think
Now we have an assumption question meaning that when Dalia says that she is assuming that the level is quite ordinary
The only answer that is in line with our pre think is answer B

Quote:
Daria counters Jonathan argument by questioning whether increase of 1000 vehicles is really going to increase traffic and pollution.
(A) changes in the traffic light patterns could mitigate the effect of the development
This is not relevant to the reasoning
(B) the traffic at the time of day Daria sits at the coffee shop represents a typical level
if traffic does not represent typical level then addition of 1000 vehicles will likely tip traffic to unacceptable levels
(C) residents of apartment complexes usually own at least one car per apartment
This is assumed by Jonathan
(D) Jonathan's understanding of the impact of fumes and congestion on the quality of life downtown is reasonably accurate
this is out of scope for this passage
(E) large numbers are useful talking points for political opponents of development because they are easily misinterpreted
not relevant to the reasoning
Ans: B
