People should switch from driving their cars to work on the weekdays to taking public transportation such as buses and subways. In major cities such as New York, London, or tokyo, for example, cars are an expensive and inefficient means of transportation and fossil fuel emissions are the major source of city's pollution.
all of the following are assumptions in the argument except :
1. there may be easier ways to combat pollution in large cities than by having people switch to taking public transportation
2. There are enough people who actually own cars, which are currently being used to drive to work, to make this plan realistically feasible.
3. Public transportation is both available and accessible should someone wish to switch.
4. Current public transportation systems can accomodate all the people who decide to switch.
5. The city can afford to pay public transport drivers and related personnel who may otherwiswe remain idle once the morning and evening rush hour periods are over.
assumption is that less expensive and efficient means are available to switch - I don't understand where does the fossil fuel comes in play.
I am going with D. (4). Please reply with your responses. Thanks

I will go with A (1)
QS supports switching to public transportation and avoid pollution.
To me, only choice which goes against it is A

all of the following are assumptions in the argument except :
1. there may be easier ways to combat pollution in large cities than by having people switch to taking public transportation
correct answer..Argument does not consider any other ways to combat pollution other than reaching out for public transporation.So it does not asssume this one.
2. There are enough people who actually own cars, which are currently being used to drive to work, to make this plan realistically feasible.
argument assumes that the plan is going to be feasable.
3. Public transportation is both available and accessible should someone wish to switch.
argument assumes that transporation is available for all.
4. Current public transportation systems can accomodate all the people who decide to switch.
argument assumes that transporation is available for all.
5. The city can afford to pay public transport drivers and related personnel who may otherwiswe remain idle once the morning and evening rush hour periods are over.
argument assumes this one also.
