A square with more than one purpose
The supported answer is “It reduced varied needs to a simple lively-versus-quiet choice.”. Evidence: “presenting those needs as a choice between two simple alternatives has made the debate less useful.”. Compare the alternative “It relied on detailed sales figures before investigating seating.”. This substitutes a different outcome for the one that was measured or reported. Compare the alternative “It treated the delivery issue as the sole measure of success.”. This makes one indicator sufficient on its own, although the passage calls for a broader assessment.

The supported answer is “They had used it to meet without buying anything.”. Evidence: “the space had not been unused to them, because it was where they met without having to buy anything.”. Compare the alternative “They saw the existing public benches as unnecessary alongside cafe seats.”. This reverses the relationship stated in the passage. Compare the alternative “They had used the centre principally to reach the library quickly.”. This assigns a feature or action to the wrong group or speaker.

The supported answer is “The speaker lacks reliable figures to establish a change.”. Evidence: “we have no reliable figures showing whether total sales changed.”. Compare the alternative “Sitting on public benches made visitors less likely to purchase drinks.”. This extends a qualified finding into a claim without exceptions. Compare the alternative “Later drink purchases establish an increase in overall sales.”. A few later drink purchases or concerns about privacy do not establish a change in total sales. Reliable figures for that overall change are missing. Check the source wording “people sitting on public benches sometimes bought a drink later” against the question and the claim “Later drink purchases establish an increase in overall sales.”.

The supported answer is “More shade.”. Evidence: “Residents welcomed the benches but asked for more shade.”. Compare the alternative “A reduction in the public seating among the cafe tables.”. This reverses the relationship stated in the passage. Compare the alternative “A route reserved for early-morning deliveries throughout the day.”. This adds a specific detail that the account does not provide; plausibility is not textual evidence.

The supported answer is “A free music event also drew people there.”. Evidence: “It took place during a free music event, so high attendance cannot be attributed to the furniture arrangement alone.”. Compare the alternative “Heavy rain had emptied the square.”. This confuses two stages of the account: the initial situation and a later check or decision. Compare the alternative “The observations were limited to visitors using the clear walking route.”. This adds a specific detail that the account does not provide; plausibility is not textual evidence.

The supported answer is “How well it accommodates overlapping activities.”. Evidence: “a shared space should be judged by how it accommodates overlapping activities, not by whether one group can claim it has finally won.”. Compare the alternative “Whether observations produce the same attendance in rain and dry weather.”. This replaces the stated basis for judging a decision with a different criterion. Compare the alternative “Whether public seats contribute directly to cafe revenue.”. This replaces the stated basis for judging a decision with a different criterion.

The supported answer is “People simply walking across the square.”. Evidence: “That route mattered to people who were not stopping to enjoy the square at all, a group largely absent from the first consultation meeting.”. Compare the alternative “People attending the later free music event.”. This confuses two stages of the account: the initial situation and a later check or decision. Compare the alternative “Business owners concerned about customers’ privacy.”. This assigns a feature or action to the wrong group or speaker.

The supported answer is “The new layout made early-morning access harder.”. Evidence: “Delivery drivers said the revised layout made early-morning access more difficult.”. Compare the alternative “The clear crossing route prevented pedestrians reaching the bus stop.”. This adds a specific detail that the account does not provide; plausibility is not textual evidence. Compare the alternative “Supplies could no longer be delivered during any part of the day.”. This extends a qualified finding into a claim without exceptions.
A square with more than one purpose
The supported answer is “If the clear walking route became obstructed.”. Evidence: “it would need to be reviewed if the clear walking route became obstructed.”. Compare the alternative “If the specific early-morning delivery route proved useful.”. This confuses the reason for an action with its possible consequence or a separate response. Compare the alternative “If some users stayed in the square without buying refreshments.”. This replaces the stated basis for judging a decision with a different criterion.

The supported answer is “A longer mixed-seating trial, temporary shade and an agreed morning delivery route.”. Evidence: “My recommendation is to retain the mixed seating for a longer trial, add temporary shade, and agree a specific early-morning delivery route.”. Compare the alternative “Retain the layout but observe it only during further music events.”. This reverses the relationship stated in the passage. Compare the alternative “Judge ordinary weeks by the trial’s busiest afternoon without changing the facilities.”. This makes one indicator sufficient on its own, although the passage calls for a broader assessment.
