A train and a bus both leave at 8:00. The train never arrives later than the bus. The bus arrives at 9:30. What must be true?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. The train arrives at 9:30 or earlier
- Step 1: The train is never later than the bus. Step 2. So the train arrives at the same time as the bus or before it. Answer: The train arrives at 9:30 or earlier. Why not the others: 'exactly 9:30' is too narrow, and the other options contradict the rule or the facts.
