called me and well amit greenest city friendly public traffic
- 00:23
All right which of the following would not be a
- 00:25
reasonable assumption given the information provided in the passage Reasonable
- 00:30
what's real all right And here the potential answers oregon
- 00:35
portland All right portland it's given us all rock a
- 00:42
ton of coffee and now this paragraph So which of
- 00:45
these statements is not accurate Portland is the largest city
- 00:49
in the state and more than half of oregonians lived
- 00:52
there Well it's safe to assume there aren't many other
- 00:54
big cities in the state They're just don't enough people
- 00:56
to go around So option a is not a reasonable
- 00:59
answer And portland is the greenest city in the country
- 01:02
Well so unless that green is referring to toxic sludge
- 01:06
it makes sense that such an ico friendly city wouldn't
- 01:09
have pollution problems It says right in the text shortland
- 01:12
is known for its strong public transportation system so it's
- 01:15
logical to assume that many people are using it These
- 01:18
aren't just empty ghost trains without any passengers we've seen
- 01:22
in the article but it's kind of scary so he's
- 01:24
an unreasonable assumption too But regarding option c the passage
- 01:28
states portland is located between two rivers So unless these
- 01:32
rivers were somehow full of sand yeah it doesn't make
- 01:35
sense that the area around them would be arid arid
- 01:38
means dry and wealth water is not dry so see
- 01:42
is not a reasonable assumption making it the correct answer
- 01:45
Hey let's give ourselves a pat on the back before 00:01:47.684 --> [endTime] hipsters decide answering questions correctly isn't cool
