Read this passage:

Dating applications for smartphones have become wildly popular in recent years. Most of the single people we surveyed in recent years said that they had installed at least one dating application in the past year. This number was substantially higher among people living in a city of more than 300,000.

Which generalization can most logically be made from this passage?

a. Dating applications do not often lead to romantic partnerships

b. people in rural areas have smaller dating pool than people in urban areas.

c. fewer rural residents than urban residents have smart phones.

d. most rural residents have located romantic partners through dating applications.

The most logical generalization is letter b. people in rural areas have smaller dating pool than people in urban areas.

People in rural areas do not necessarily have an advantage with dating applications because everyone knows everyone, the number of people is much smaller, and they are people who naturally have a culture of approaching one to another.

Itens a. (dating applications do not often lead to romantic partnerships) and d. (most rural residents have located romantic partners through dating applications) > Both are distant from the contextualization of the passage. Iten c. (fewer rural residents than urban residents have smart phones) > It is not a generalization. It is another kind of conclusion. Not all conclusions are generalizations.

D. people in rural areas have a smaller dating pool than people in urban areas.
