Question

evaluating arguments in an informational text in these cities, youll see large groups of bikes lined up at sidewalk stations. for a small fee, you can check out a bicycle at one station, ride it, and leave the bike at a different station. bike sharing is great because it lets people ride around without worrying about buying, storing, or repairing their own bikes. a cyclist chooses a bike at a bike - sharing station. which detail supports the authors point that bike sharing is great? you can pick up a bike at a station for free. you can ride a bike from one state to another. you can check out a bike at a library. you can ride a bike without buying one.

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the author's point that bike sharing is great, we analyze each option:

• The first option says "You can pick up a bike at a station for free," but the text states "For a small fee," so this is incorrect.
• The second option, "You can ride a bike from one state to another," is not mentioned in the text and is illogical for bike sharing (stations are in cities, not for inter - state travel).
• The third option, "You can check out a bike at a library," is not supported by the text which mentions sidewalk stations, not libraries.
• The fourth option, "You can ride a bike without buying one," matches the text's statement "it lets people ride around without worrying about buying... their own bikes."

Answer:

D. You can ride a bike without buying one.
