Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: if only conclusion I follows
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:The service explicitly provides traffic diversions and other information via SMS. We test whether it must thereby provide “latest updates” and whether it will “enormously” boost phone sales.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:If commuters can query and receive diversion information, then they can obtain traffic updates. Predicting handset sales is speculative.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Conclusion I: “The facility will allow commuters to get the latest traffic update.” Follows from the purpose and content (diversions) of the SMS service.Conclusion II: “The move will increase the sale of cell phones enormously.” No such economic effect is asserted; many commuters already have phones. Not entailed.Verification / Alternative check:Even if phone sales are unchanged, the service can still provide updates.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Any option selecting II relies on unprovided market assumptions.
Common Pitfalls:Assuming every digital public service materially expands device ownership.
Final Answer:if only conclusion I follows
