Through a bond issue, a city council has the funding to create bike lanes in the city; however,
they cannot agree upon the routes and upon which streets should contain the bike lanes. Expert A
has presented evidence about traffic flow and bicycle safety, concluding that bike lanes should
be put on residential streets where possible and kept off the busier main corridors. Expert A's
evidence shows that this increases safety for the bikers even though it may mean they will ride
longer distances. Expert B has presented evidence about traffic flow and bicycle safety that
concludes that the main corridors are the better and safer choice for bike lanes because they are
wider and more easily accessible. The city decides to go with Expert A's evidence and installs
the bike lanes on residential streets. Shortly after the bike lanes open, a biker is seriously injured
when hit by a car backing out of a driveway.
Which o correct answers e) It is not possible to know the accuracy of either expert's evidence
from the information given.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that people who spend
most of their days in a job that requires sitting have a higher mortality rate than those whose jobs
require more movement. The study found that even for people who exercise regularly, spending
long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. The study found that within four hours of
