  Directions: Choose the appropriate letter to indicate the conclusion that can be drawn from each passage.     In his book Luxury Fever, author Robert H. Frank asks us to imagine two parallel universes, two societies that are isolated from another but alike in all respects except for one: everyone in Society A lives in a 4,000-square-foot house, and everyone in Society B lives in a 3,000-square-foot house. He also asks us to imagine that the people who live in Society B used the resources they saved by building smaller houses to improve their overall living conditions by funding the construction of high-speed public transportation. Therefore, when the residents of Society B leave their 3,000-square-foot houses to go to work, they face a hassle-free, fifteen-minute commute. Meanwhile, the residents of Society A, who poured all of their resources into an extra 1,000 square feet of living space, face a grueling, one-hour long automobile commute through heavy traffic, a stressful activity that has been shown to cause significant mental and physical damage. What Frank wants to know is this: In which society would you choose to live? (Source of information: Robert H. Frank, “How Not To Buy Happiness,” Daedalus, Vol. 133, Issue 2.) From this passage, a reader might logically draw which conclusion?
