A municipal body is weighing whether to turn a disused warehouse near the bus terminus into a covered market for the vendors who now trade on the pavement outside it. Which of the following would be of most use in deciding?

Competition practiceLogical / Critical
  • AWhether the warehouse was once used to store grain
  • BHow many vendors trade on the pavement at present
  • CWhether the shoppers the vendors depend on would walk into a covered building set back from the pavement, or would keep to the pavement route they now take
  • DWhether the bus terminus is served by more than one route

Step-by-Step Solution

The vendors trade on the pavement because that is where the passing custom is; if the shoppers will not step inside, the covered market stands empty and the vendors drift back outside, so the scheme fails at its purpose. The number of vendors helps size the building but only after that question is settled, and the warehouse's former use and the terminus's routes decide nothing.
Answer: C) Whether the shoppers the vendors depend on would walk into a covered building set back from the pavement, or would keep to the pavement route they now take
