PrepTest 135 - Section 4 - Question 3

Show summary

Travel industry consultant: Several airlines are increasing elbow room and leg room in business class, because surveys show that business travelers value additional space more than, say, better meals. ███ ████████ ███ █████████████ █████ ███ ███████ ██ ██████████ ██████ ██ █████████ ████ ██████ ███████ █████ ██ ███ ███████ ██ ███████ ██████████ ███████ █████ █████████ ████████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ███████ ████████

Summarize Argument

The travel industry consultant concludes that these airlines are too concerned about the comfort of business class travelers and should instead prioritize the comfort of leisure travelers. He bases this on the fact that 80% of all airline tickets are purchased by leisure travelers.

Notable Assumptions

The travel industry consultant assumes that the comfort of leisure travelers is more important than the comfort of business class travelers, simply because leisure travelers purchase more tickets.

He also assumes that, just because leisure travelers purchase 80% of airline tickets overall, they also purchase 80% of tickets on each airline. It’s possible that the airlines that conducted these surveys are luxury airlines with far fewer leisure travelers than most airlines have.
