Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A city proposes installing smart traffic signals. The reason is that adaptive timing reduces idling and can lower vehicle emissions.

Which evidence best supports the reason?

AOn corridors with smart signals, vehicle travel time and stop-and-go frequency decreased, and roadside sensors measured lower concentrations of traffic-related pollutants during peak periods compared with pre-installation levels.

BTraffic lights use electricity.

CSome intersections have murals.

DDrivers like green lights.

Solution & Explanation:Choice A is correct because On corridors with smart signals, vehicle travel time and stop-and-go frequency decreased, and roadside sensors measured lower concentrations of traffic-related pollutants during peak periods compared with pre-installation levels. It most effectively strengthens the claim with relevant evidence or reasoning that fits the argument.

Which evidence best supports the reason?

ABooks have many genres.

BSome people return books on time anyway.

CAfter late fees were removed, the number of patrons whose accounts were blocked declined, and borrowing increased most in neighborhoods with lower median incomes compared with before the change.

DLibraries have quiet spaces.

BStudents enjoy seeing friends after school.
