Multiple Choice

Table 22-7
Suppose that residents of a town are asked to vote on the best way to improve the safety of an intersection. The three choices are: a stoplight, a 4-way stop, and a 2-way stop. The voters are divided into three groups based on their preferences.
Voter Type
-Refer to Table 22-7. If the first vote pits a stoplight against a 4-way stop and the second vote pits a 2-way stop against the winner of the first vote, then the outcome is as follows:

• A)4-way stop wins the first vote and 4-way stop wins the second vote, so the town installs a 4-way stop.
• B)4-way stop wins the first vote and 2-way stop wins the second vote, so the town installs a 2-way stop.
• C)Stoplight wins the first vote and stoplight wins the second vote, so the town installs a stoplight.
• D)Stoplight wins the first vote and 2-way stop wins the second vote, so the town installs a 2-way stop.
