[問題]GWD6-Q33

[bugubugu]

Q33:
Crowding on Mooreville’s subway frequently leads to delays, because it is difficult for passengers to exit from the trains. Subway ridership is projected to increase by 20 percent over the next 10 years. The Metroville Transit Authority plans to increase the number of daily train trips by only 5 percent over the same period. Officials predict that this increase is sufficient to ensure that the incidence of delays due to crowding does not increase.

Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for the officials’ prediction?

A. By changing maintenance schedules, the Transit Authority can achieve the 5 percent increase in train trips without purchasing any new subway cars.

B. The Transit Authority also plans a 5 percent increase in the number of bus trips on routes that connect to subways.

C. For most commuters who use the subway system, there is no practical alternative public transportation available.

D. Most of the projected increase in ridership is expected to occur in off-peak hours when trains are now sparsely used.

E. The 5 percent increase in the number of train trips can be achieved without an equal increase in Transit Authority operational costs.


看不懂這題耶...
可請高手解一下嗎?

答案是D嗎?

Subway ridership is projected to increase by 20 percent over the next 10 years.--->10年增加20%的搭乘量
The Metroville Transit Authority plans to increase the number of daily train trips by only 5 percent over the same period. -->只需要增加5%就足夠了
WHY-->Officials predict that this increase is sufficient to ensure that the incidence of delays due to crowding does not increase.


兩者認知不同的地方, 因為officials認為只要在尖峰時間增班就可以解決目前的crowded,而離峰的搭乘人口少,不需要增班(如同D的敘述)


獻醜了..

謝謝你的解釋...
答案是D沒錯...

Most of the projected increase in ridership is expected to occur in off-peak hours when trains are now sparsely used.

可以麻煩解釋一下D的意思媽? 他不是堤道off-peak
為什麼跟尖峰時間有關呢?

謝謝

謝謝

Most of the projected(指的是增加發車率15%差異的部分) increase in ridership is expected to occur in off-peak hours(這15%增加在離峰時間) when trains are now sparsely used.(離峰時間的乘車率已經不高了)
所以official 認為只要在尖峰時間增班5%就足以紓解壅塞情況

這題我一開始看真是毫無頭緒
句子根句子之間都沒有案市語氣轉變的連接詞 看起來都卡卡的
甚至在想 這個officals到底是指誰 是指前面的其中一個 還是一個新的人
考試碰到我想我一定會做錯

想請問C為何不行呢?
就是因為他們的交通工具只有subway
所以載客人數眾多，誤點情況常發生
然後增加班次來紓解人潮啊~~~

正確答案D雖然看了前面的解釋，還是似懂非懂
能否有人再解釋一下
謝謝

Q:客人增加20%,Officials predict :subway班次增加5%足夠應付客人 的增加=>discrepancy
C沒有替代的交通工具=>無關選項,沒辦法說明為什麼只增加5%的班次就好
D大部分增加的人潮是離峰時間的人潮增加=>離峰時間根本就搭不滿,這時不用增加班次應付之;

[hwatai]

oguz君，本題是要support official's prediction，要解釋為什麼載客量5%的增加即可以應付人潮20%的增加，而且crowding不會increse

A：說明這5%的增加for free，無關選項
B：提到bus，無關選項
C：人們還是會持續搭地鐵→沒有解釋，而且偏向weaken
D：新增的20%乘客，預計都是增加在現在的離峰時間中→解釋來了
E：提到cost，無關選項

謝謝兩位大大的解釋
覺得自己好像問了個笨問題
呵呵.....
