A FHWA study shows that on average, how do stop-sign behavior compare to half of drivers?

• A. More than half stop
• B. About half stop
• C. Less than half stop
• D. Almost none stop

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that drivers don’t all come to a full stop at stop signs. The FHWA observation shows that fewer than half of drivers actually stop completely, so the proportion stopping is below 50%. That’s why the best choice is that less than half stop. The other options don’t fit because they’d imply at least 50% stop (more than half or about half) or almost no one stops, which isn’t what the study found.
