We at Acme Electric aim to provide energy reliably to all our customers, so we need to reduce the number of power outages, which have been increasing since Year 2 of our five-year usage study. In order to reduce the number of power outages, we have to reduce electricity usage during on-peak and mid-peak hours. Beginning next year, rather than charging the same rate regardless of time of use, we will implement the following tiered rates to charge for energy usage based on usage category:

Businesses that are open at least some evenings Monday through Friday also tend to be open at some weekend times on Saturday or Sunday.
No: This statement suggests that businesses are open on weekends, but it does not directly support the argument that the tiered pricing disproportionately burdens small-business owners. The Op-ed's concern is with the unfairness of the pricing during on-peak hours, not necessarily with businesses being open on weekends.
The most intensive use of electricity during the hours 08:00 to 17:00, Monday through Friday, is by small businesses rather than residential users.
Yes: This statement does support the Op-ed's argument because it indicates that small businesses, which operate primarily during peak hours, will be most affected by the tiered pricing plan. Since these are the hours when the highest rates apply, small businesses would face higher costs, which aligns with the claim that the pricing plan disproportionately burdens them.
Service businesses tend to have longer hours than manufacturing businesses.
No: This statement does not specifically address the burden of the tiered pricing plan on small businesses relative to other types of customers. It indicates that service businesses might use electricity for longer periods, but it doesn’t directly connect to the unfairness of the pricing plan as argued in the Op-ed

Assume that each of the following statements, about businesses served by Acme Electric, is true. For each statement, select Yes if the statement would provide additional support for the case made in the Op-ed tab that Acme Electric's pricing plan, as outlined in the Pricing tab, disproportionately burdens business owners. Otherwise, select No.
(I) Businesses that are open at least some evenings Monday through Friday also tend to be open at some weekend times on Saturday or Sunday.
If some businesses are open throughout the week then argument by Op-ed tab is not true as they are equally burdened. NO
(II) The most intensive use of electricity during the hours 08:00 to 17:00, Monday through Friday, is by small businesses rather than residential users.
That means the most intensive use of electricity is on Saturdays and Sundays between 8:00 and 17:00 is residential users and not small businesses.
Hence, raising the price on Saturday and Sunday would benefit small businesses. YES
(III) Service businesses tend to have longer hours than manufacturing businesses.
Op-ed tab is asking the weekends to be pricier so comparing 2 distinct businesses is pointless. NO
