Roland: It is important for us to cut down on our usage of fossil fuels. Therefore, we must invest in new hybrid technology for vehicles. Hybrid technology will help us decrease our dependency on fossil fuels. Hybrid vehicles use half the fossil fuels per mile than other vehicles.
Roland assumes which one of the following?
Roland assumes which one of the following?
- A. That drivers who switch from regular vehicles to hybrid vehicles will drive less than twice as much as they did prior to the switch
B. That more consumers will be able to afford hybrid vehicles than other types of vehicles
C. That all vehicles can be converted to hybrid technology
D. That hybrid vehicles have the same horsepower as fossil fueled vehicles
E. That the consumer demand for hybrid vehicles is elastic
Official Explanation
The best answer is A. This is an assumption question. In order to state that hybrid vehicles will decrease our dependency on fossil fuels, it must be assumed that people will drive less than twice as much as they would with non-hybrid vehicles. Because hybrids use half as much fossil fuel as non-hybrids per mile, if drivers traveled more than twice as much in hybrids, there would be no net savings. Each of the other answer choices is irrelevant to the argument.

A. That drivers who switch from regular vehicles to hybrid vehicles will drive less than twice as much as they did prior to the switch
- Correct. Switching regular vehicles by hybrid vehicles will be of no use if people drive more which will in turn use the same amount of fossil fuels
B. That more consumers will be able to afford hybrid vehicles than other types of vehicles
- Incorrect. Affordability is irrelevant
C. That all vehicles can be converted to hybrid technology
- Incorrect.Conversion to hybrid tech isn't related to efficiency
D. That hybrid vehicles have the same horsepower as fossil fueled vehicles
-Incorrect. Horsepower is irrelavant
E. That the consumer demand for hybrid vehicles is elastic
- Incorrect. This is no where mentioned in the argument.
