Through Topeka airport, consumer travel by plane is just voluminous enough for the commercial airlines to make modest profits. The size of the city's population is stable and is not expected to increase much. Yet there are investors ready to double the number of flights to and from the airport within ten years, and they are predicting solid profits both for themselves and for the established airlines.
Which of the following about the city of Topeka, if true, most helps to provide a justification for the investors' prediction?
A. Over the next ten years, people in their middle-aged years, the prime traveling age, will be a rapidly growing proportion of the city's population.
B. As distinct from the existing flights, most of the flights being planned would be run at "very early" morning times, in hopes of stimulating interest in those schedules.
C. Spending on train and bus travel to and from Topeka has been increasing modestly each year for the past ten years.
D. The average number of seats per flight is lower among existing routes than it is among routes still in the planning stages.
E. The sale of snacks and drinks in-flight accounts for a steadily growing share of most airlines' profits.

A. The city's population may stay flat, but if a larger share becomes prime traveling age, the number of potential travelers can still rise significantly. Correct
B. Early flights might shift when people fly rather than increase the total number of travelers.
C. More train and bus travel doesn't tell us that air travel will increase.
D. Larger planes could make each flight more profitable, but it doesn't explain why there would be enough demand to double the number of flights.
E. More profit from snacks and drinks doesn't explain how doubling flights would generate enough additional business.

Correct Answer : A
Premise 1: Current air travel volume via Topeka airport generates only modest profits.
Premise 2: Topeka's total population size is stable and not expected to grow significantly.
Investors' Prediction: Doubling the number of flights within 10 years will generate solid profits for both new and existing airlines.
To justify doubling the number of flights profitably when total population is constant, we need a reason why per-capita demand for air travel will rise.
A (CORRECT): If middle-aged people represent the "prime traveling age" and will become a rapidly growing proportion of Topeka's population, overall demand for air travel per capita will jump significantly—even while total population stays flat. This justifies why doubling flights will be profitable.
B (INCORRECT): Adding early morning flights "in hopes of" stimulating interest relies on unproven hope rather than actual evidence of demand.
C (INCORRECT): Increased spending on ground transport (trains/buses) indicates growth in alternative travel modes, but does not prove demand for air travel will double.
D (INCORRECT): If new flights use larger planes (more seats), total seat capacity increases even faster. Without an increase in passenger demand, larger planes are harder to fill profitably, weakening the prediction.
E (INCORRECT): In-flight snack/drink sales apply universally across airlines and do not explain why demand at Topeka airport specifically will double.
