Statement: "The city should build more footbridges along the highway to reduce pedestrian accidents." Which of the following is assumed?

  1. Footbridges are cheap to build.
  2. All drivers follow the speed limit.
  3. Some pedestrian accidents happen when people cross the highway at street level.
  4. Pedestrians never use footbridges.

Answer

C. Some pedestrian accidents happen when people cross the highway at street level.

Solution

The proposal assumes footbridges will help, which only works if crossing at street level is a cause of accidents. If pedestrians never used footbridges, the plan would be pointless.
