Statement: A few passengers complained that a jeepney driver overcharged them. Courses of action: I. The franchises of all jeepney operators in the city should be revoked. II. Jeepneys should be banned from the city. Which course(s) of action logically follow?
- Only I follows.
- Only II follows.
- Both I and II follow.
- Neither I nor II follows.
Answer
D. Neither I nor II follows.
Solution
The answer is: Neither I nor II follows. Both punish everyone for one driver's offense; the proper action would be to investigate that driver. A course of action follows if it is practical and addresses the problem without being extreme.
