We should recognize this as a must be true question, as the question stem states: If the statements above are true, which one of the following must also be true*?*
This stimulus is quite short for a MBT question. The first sentence tells us about the plan of an airport designed for private aircraft to cover its expenses by charging fees to private aircraft users. Unfortunately, the plan failed and the airport was unable to meet its expenses because the revenue from the fees was lower than expected. And that’s all we get! Since this is a MBT question, we know the correct answer is going to be a 100% guaranteed inference from just this information. The only thing we’ve really been told about is that the expenses were greater than both total revenue (superset) and specifically revenue from user fees (subset). The correct answer will have to somehow relate to this information. Let’s see what we get:
Answer Choice (A) We’ve been told nothing about where the county’s citizens live!
Answer Choice (B) The fact that there was any revenue from user fees strongly suggests this is at least partly false, and it certainly isn’t something we know for sure.
Answer Choice (C) This is just a total non sequitur, nothing was said about the airport’s construction.
Correct Answer Choice (D) If the airport was unable to pay its operating expenses, then its expenses must have been larger than its total revenue, and therefore it must be true that its expenses were greater than a subset of its total revenue.
Answer Choice (E) This requires a lot of assumptions as we know very little about the airport’s users.
