Question: 581

Which option gives the best evidence for the answer to the previous question?

• A. Lines 4–8 ("Black Friday . . . movement")
• B. Lines 27–32 ("Making sure . . . customer")
• C. Lines 38–42 ("When it . . . bear")
• D. Lines 59–62 ("It is . . . destination")

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

(C) See the explanation to question 13 above. Lines 38–42 state, "When it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight" is the company's mantra and this idea "basically provides certainty of service for a premium price that consumers are willing to bear." If consumers are willing to pay more money for "certainty," or reliability, we can infer that this is something very important to them.
