  5. Logic and reasoning Train service suffers when a railroad combines commuter and freight service. By dividing its attention between its freight and commuter customers, a railroad serves neither particularly well. Therefore, if a railroad is going to be a successful business, then it must concentrate exclusively on one of these two markets. For the argument to be logically correct, it must make which one of the following assumptions? • Commuter and freight services have little in common with each other. • The first priority of a railroad is to be a successful business. • Unless a railroad serves its customers well, it will not be a successful business. • If a railroad concentrates on commuter service, it will be a successful business. • Railroad commuters rarely want freight services as well.
