Set 4: Inferences

Explanation

Answer: B

PASSAGE

A restaurant experimented with removing dollar signs from their menu prices (writing '15' instead of '$15'). Over the following month, customers spent an average of 8% more per meal compared to the previous month with traditional pricing.

What can be inferred from the experiment?

A. Customers prefer to see explicit currency symbols.
B. Currency symbols may trigger more careful spending consideration.✓ Correct
C. The restaurant lowered its prices during the experiment.
D. Customers couldn't understand the new menu format.

Detailed Explanation

Without dollar signs, people spent 8% more—suggesting the symbol triggers price-conscious thinking.

Key Evidence:

• "removing dollar signs"

• "spent 8% more"

Why others are wrong: A (They spent more without symbols, not less.), C (The format changed, not prices.), D (They still ordered and paid, showing understanding.).
