PT86.S4.Q23 - Antitheft device involving an electronic homing becon

edited April 2021 in Logical Reasoning 385 karma

The last sentence reads "The device is not yet used by a large percentage of car owners, but in cities where only a small percentage of car owners have the device installed, auto thefts have dropped dramatically."

I was very confused when reading "dramatically"; I thought it simply means an obvious drop in auto theft. But the size of the drop is still unknown---it can be small or huge. So I was struggled to spot a discrepancy.

Or, doe "dramatically" mean more than half of all auto thefts were dropped? I checked its dictionary meaning "by a strikingly large amount or to a strikingly large extent; greatly."

Any comments or insights would be really helpful! Thanks.

    Yes, dramatically here should be interpreted as significantly. Like OMG, auto theft dropped a lot!
