Which group is directly affected by Mayor Cudd's announcement?

• A. Pushcart peddlers
• B. Restaurant owners
• C. Bus drivers
• D. School administrators

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is about who an official statement most directly targets. Mayor Cudd’s announcement centers on rules or actions that affect the use and regulation of pushcarts on the streets. Those who operate and rely on pushcarts—the pushcart peddlers—would feel the immediate impact, since their business depends on the very thing the announcement addresses. The other groups—restaurant owners, bus drivers, and school administrators—aren’t the ones who operate the pushcarts or are governed by those specific rules, so they’re not directly affected by the announcement in the same immediate way.
