A school bus route is inefficient causing delays. Logical improvement?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
1) Redesign route using student locations and pick optimal path
The problem says the school bus route is inefficient and causing delays.
So the solution should improve the route and reduce travel time.
Option A suggests redesigning the bus route by analyzing where students live and choosing the best and shortest path. This will make the route more efficient and reduce delays.
2) Charge students extra
This does not solve the delay problem.
3) Keep the same route
If the route is already inefficient, keeping it the same will not improve anything.
4) Add more buses regardless of cost
This may reduce delays but it is not practical or cost-effective.
Therefore, option (1) is the correct answer.
