Naveen: Charging two rupees for a plastic carry bag at the counter has not cut the number of bags we hand out; customers simply pay the two rupees. Farida: The charge was never going to do it on its own. What has cut the number of bags at the branch across town is keeping cloth bags on the counter within the customer's reach, and we should do the same here. On which of the following do Naveen and Farida agree?

Competition practiceLogical / Critical
  • AThat the two-rupee charge has not by itself cut the number of carry bags handed out
  • BThat customers resent paying two rupees for a carry bag
  • CThat cloth bags ought to be given away without charge
  • DThat the charge for a carry bag should be raised

Step-by-Step Solution

Naveen states that the charge alone has failed, and Farida's opening words accept exactly that before she proposes something further, so the failure of the charge on its own is shared ground. Nothing either says shows customers resent the charge; Farida asks that cloth bags be kept within reach, not that they be free; and neither proposes a higher charge.
Answer: A) That the two-rupee charge has not by itself cut the number of carry bags handed out
