Question

Taken together, the two figures suggest that most people who use public transportation-

• A. Are employed outside the home and take public transportation to work.
• B. Are employed outside the home but take public transportation primarily in order to run errands.
• C. Use public transportation during the week but use their private cars on weekends.
• D. Use public transportation only until they are able to afford to buy a car.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Are employed outside the home and take public transportation to work.

The first image reveals that the primary occupation of 72% of the population of U.S. cities using the public transport is that they work outside the home. The second graph reveals that the purpose of 59.1% public transport passengers is work. Now, when we take these two claims of the respective graphs together we can conclude that most of the people who use public transport are employed outside home and use the same to travel to work. This is stated by option A. The claims of other options do not fit the context so the answer is option A.
