The campus parking authority’s claim that the university is losing substantial revenue
each semester by allowing commuting students to park on campus for free is clearly
false. Nearly all students who commute to campus live close enough to the university
to easily walk there. Hence, the revenue generated by a pay-to-park system would
actually be quite small, since ______________.
(A) only full-time students would be required to purchase parking permits.
(B) most people who currently commute would rather walk to school than pay to park
on campus.
(C) enforcement of parking restrictions would require the hiring of many additional
parking authority employees.
(D) the university receives the majority of its revenue from charitable donations.
(E) most of the free parking areas that are currently being used by students would be
converted to paid parking areas.

Re-ordered, the structure of the argument is as follows:
Premise: Nearly all students who commute to campus live close enough
to the university to easily walk there.
Sub-Conclusion: Hence, the revenue generated by a pay-to-park system
would actually be quite small.
Conclusion: The campus parking authority’s claim that the university is
losing substantial revenue each semester by allowing
commuting students to park on campus for free is clearly false.
The author notes that the campus parking authority claims to be losing
substantial revenue due to free on-campus parking, but the author disagrees
with that conclusion because nearly all the currently commuting students
live close enough to campus to walk. Thus, to support the conclusion that the
revenue gained by a pay-to-park system would be small, the blank must be
filled by an answer that connects the current commuters to the ability to
walk to campus. This Supporter connection is perfectly stated in (B), the
correct answer.
Answer choice (A): This answer does not address the fact that revenue
would not increase, because no information is given about full-time students
as they relate to the commuters. If every student is a full-time student, that
might hurt the argument, but if there are hardly any full-time students, that
would help the argument. In any event, the statement is not an assumption of
the argument.
Answer choice (B): This is the correct answer, a Supporter.
Answer choice (C): The argument is about additional revenues, not about
costs. Because this answer is about costs, it is not an assumption of the
argument.
Answer choice (D): This answer is an immediate Loser. No discussion or
assumption is made about the university’s total revenue or overall revenue
sources.
Answer choice (E): While this answer possibly supports the campus
authority’s argument, it neither assists nor damages the author’s argument

(A) only full-time students would be required to purchase parking permits.
> We don't know the proportion of full-time students. Maybe only the full-time students have all their vehicles parked in the college parking, or probably none of them does so?
(B) most people who currently commute would rather walk to school than pay to park
on campus.
> Bingo! This follows what is highlighted in green in the argument
(C) enforcement of parking restrictions would require the hiring of many additional
parking authority employees.
> Out of scope - the argument is not concerned with the cost of implementation. Maybe the university is willing to pay for additional employees? Maybe the revenue expected to be generated from the parking would be manyfold more than the employees' salary?
(D) the university receives the majority of its revenue from charitable donations.
> This doesn't say anything about the revenue generation from parking space
(E) most of the free parking areas that are currently being used by students would be
converted to paid parking areas.
> This answer option suggests that a decent revenue would be generated, but in the blank we need to fill a reason for "why the revenue would be less"
