Discussion
The country of Zombieland is in distress since more than 75% of its working population is suffering from serious health issues. Studies conducted by competent health experts concluded that a complete lack of physical exercise among its working population was one of the leading causes of their health issues. As one of the measures to address the problem, the Government of Zombieland has decided to provide monetary incentives to those who ride bicycles to work.
Based only on the information provided above, which one of the following statements can be logically inferred with certainty?
Answer: D
The certain inference is that the Government of Zombieland believes that riding bicycles is a form of physical exercise.
The experts named a lack of physical exercise as a leading cause of the health problems, and the government's response to that finding is to pay people to cycle to work. That measure only makes sense if the government regards cycling as exercise, so this belief is the assumption the passage rests on.
The other options go beyond the text. An incentive does not mean everyone 'will henceforth' cycle. Lack of exercise was only one of the leading causes, so cycling cannot 'ensure' everyone is free of health issues. And nothing says the experts suggested making cycling mandatory; the government chose incentives, not compulsion.
