Question 38. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A.  If landlords adopted linear models, courts would automatically deem all algorithmic coordination lawful, eliminating antitrust concerns entirely.

B.  Federal agencies already maintain real-time rent dashboards, making additional transparency and data standards largely redundant for affordability goals.

C.  Effective pro-tenant pricing tools would likely require public funding, standardized data, and landlord reporting so market responses actually feed back into pricing.

D.  Eliminating conferences and committees would immediately remove any possibility of collusion, even if shared data still trains pricing algorithms.

Question 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

Pilots would require federal support, municipal capacity-building, and landlord reporting on demand elasticity so that tenant responses actually recalibrate prices.

A.  Pilots can run locally without federal help or landlord reporting because prices will reset automatically regardless of tenant reactions.

B.  For pilots to work, they need national backing, stronger city capacity, and landlord data on demand sensitivity so tenant behavior feeds back into pricing.

C.  Success hinges only on federal rent caps; city capacity and market data are unnecessary for effective price regulation mechanisms.

D.  Pilots should rely on tenant self-reports about supply elasticity, not landlords, and can skip federal involvement entirely for efficiency.

Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A.  Federal affordability standards already ensure real-time price fairness, rendering antitrust scrutiny largely unnecessary.

B.  Market pricing needs no reform; algorithms simply optimise vacancies while protecting tenants from sudden rent increases across cities.

C.  RealPage’s tools failed commercially, showing that open-source models outperform proprietary software in every rental submarket.

D.  Alleged algorithmic collusion reshapes rents, law lags behind, and public-interest models could re-anchor pricing to affordability with better data and oversight.
