Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation. I am not sure about my explanations for "B" and "D"
*The kind of question this is:* Weaken
*CTX:* Post office must be replaced with a larger one.
*Premise(s):*
• The present one cannot be replaced.
• Land near the present (center of town) location is more expensive.
• Cost of acquiring a site is a significant part of the total construction cost.
*Conclusion:* Post office can be built more cheaply on the outskirts of town.
*What I am looking for:* A reason, that outweighs the burden of cost, in favour of the office to being built near the present (center of town) location, rather than on the outskirts.
*Answer A:* No. That is just information. Irrelevant. The building code is not a stated obstacle.
*Answer B:* Yes. The office on the outskirts will need a parking lot that is more expensive than not having one.
*Answer C:* No. That’s an issue that the new post office would not need to worry about. It is not mentioned how this would be a problem.
*Answer
* No. So what if they have to deliver mail to home. The mail will still arrive to the costumers. The post office on the outskirts will still be in business.
*Answer E:* No. That’s not a problem. That’s just the process that will be taken to build the office in the center of town.
