Q22.
Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarms
are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street
corners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone,
these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we
propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the
number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the
proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?
A. The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private tele-
phones and records where they came from.
B. Maintaining the fire alarm boxes costs Springfield approximately
five million dollars annually.
C. A telephone call can provide the fire department with more informa
tion about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed
from an alarm box.
D. Responding to false alarms significantly reduces the fire depart-
ment’s capacity for responding to fires.
E. On any given day, a significant percentage of the public telephones
in Springfield are out of service.
Which statement would strengthen the conclusion that would minimize crank calls and does not take people's ability to make the emergency call.
A - fire department knows who called so this reduces crank calls and thus allows only those who need access to this line made available
C - the only other viable option doesn't talk about how this would reduce crank calls.
I'm going with A. please respond. thanks
