Assertion: the before-and-after difference measures a project's benefits. Reason: the project is the only thing that changed over the period.

  • A.both the assertion and the reason offered are false
  • B.both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason explains the assertion
  • C.both the assertion and the reason are true but the reason does not explain the assertion
  • D.the assertion is true but the reason given for it is false

Answer: A

Correct answer: both the assertion and the reason offered are false

A before-and-after comparison attributes to the project everything else that changed over the period - traffic growth, income, the economic cycle. The correct measure is with-project against without-project over the same period, which is why a control or a counterfactual forecast is needed. The reason states the very assumption that fails.
