Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Expand fountains at busy public sites, with careful planning for installation costs.: The expansion sites fit, but the concluding condition concerns maintenance and cleanliness rather than installation costs.
• Limit expansion to downtown sites, with careful planning for installation costs.: This narrows the sites to the downtown example and substitutes installation costs for the concluding planning conditions.
• Limit expansion to community centres, with careful planning for installation costs.: This narrows expansion to the personal example’s setting and substitutes installation costs for maintenance and cleanliness.

Correct Answer: Fountain installation can bring longer-term municipal savings in waste collection.

Why this is correct: After Morin’s finding, the report develops a cost argument illustrated by lower municipal waste-collection spending.

Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Fountains make reusable bottles easier to refill instead of buying water.: This is the earlier refill-convenience argument rather than the later municipal cost argument.
• Clean, easy-to-find fountains attract stated interest in regular use.: This is the earlier survey’s conditional willingness finding rather than the later municipal savings argument.
• New fountains can lower individual spending by changing bottled-water buying habits.: This transfers the later household buying example into the municipal savings argument.

Correct Answer: Vancouver for the survey; Calgary for the spending report.

Why this is correct: The resident survey is from Vancouver. Calgary city staff report the spending change.

Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Vancouver for the survey; Toronto for the spending report.: The survey location fits, but Toronto is introductory background rather than the city-staff spending example.
• Toronto for the survey; Vancouver for the spending report.: This assigns the introductory city to the survey and the survey’s city to the spending report.
• Calgary for the survey; Toronto for the spending report.: This assigns the spending city to the survey and the introductory city to the spending report.

Correct Answer: Worried about winter upkeep, seeing freezing and breakage as potential sources of repair costs.

Why this is correct: The comments express worry about winter maintenance because freezing and breakage can lead to repair costs.

Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Dismissive of winter upkeep, treating freeze-related repairs as a minor matter for cities.: This downplays the repairs that the comments present as a cause for concern.
• Uncertain about winter upkeep, withholding judgment about its demands on cities.: This withholds judgment, while the comments explicitly express worry about the repair burden.
• Reassured about winter upkeep, trusting seasonal shutdowns to reduce cold-weather trouble.: This transfers the later reassurance about modern designs into the earlier comments about winter repairs.

Correct Answer: Last summer, near a community centre.

Why this is correct: The household example happened last summer after a fountain was installed near a community centre.

Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• Last summer, near a library.: The season fits, but libraries belong to the final site suggestions rather than the household example.
• In winter, near a transit station.: This transfers the winter-maintenance season and a final transit-site suggestion into the personal example.
• In winter, near a library.: This transfers the maintenance season and a final library suggestion into the summer community-centre example.

Correct Answer: 63 residents.

Why this is correct: The share gives 320 interested residents. A quarter is eighty, and seventeen refusals leave sixty-three.

Tips: Compare each complete choice with the passage and the question’s stated context.

Why the other options are wrong:

• 58 residents.: This uses sixty percent instead of sixty-four percent, then applies the invitation fraction and refusals.
• 83 residents.: This uses eighty percent as the interested share before applying the invitation fraction and refusals.
• 18 residents.: This uses twenty-eight percent as the interested share before applying the invitation fraction and refusals.
