Despite a 50% increase in the budget for the city's snow removal services, the main roads took longer to clear after a recent storm than they did after a comparable storm two years ago.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the roads took longer to clear despite the larger budget?
- The recent storm brought temperatures far below those of the earlier one, cold enough to render the city's standard road salt nearly useless.
- At the start of the season the city bought five new, top-of-the-line snowplows.
- The recent storm struck on a weekend, when far fewer vehicles were on the roads.
- The snow removal budget is financed through local property taxes.
- Almost no other city in the region experienced significant snowfall during the recent storm.
