Statement: The town’s only public library is overcrowded during the examination season. Courses of action: I. Extend the library’s opening hours during the exam season. II. Close the library during the exam season. Which course(s) of action follow?

Correct answer D. Only I follows

Explanation

Longer hours spread users over more time and ease crowding, so I follows. Closing the library would leave students with nowhere to study, which makes the problem worse, so II does not follow.
