However many vending machines for newspapers operate on a different principle. Money for one newspaper opens the machine but when open, all of the newspapers are available to be taken by the buyer (of course this rarely happens because few readers want more than one copy of the newspaper). These machines are called "honor boxes" because the vendor trusts that the buyer will behave honorably. Question It can be inferred that newspaper sellers use "honor boxes" in part because newspaper readers are generally trustworthy rarely purchase newspapers from vending machines have relatively high incomes typically do not want more than one newspaper

Passage Most vending machines are designed to dispense a certain amount of product in exchange for a certain amount of money. However many vending machines for newspapers operate on a different principle. Money for one newspaper opens the machine but when open, all of the newspapers are available to be taken by the buyer (of course this rarely happens because few readers want more than one copy of the newspaper).

Question It can be inferred that newspaper sellers use "honor boxes" in part because newspaper readers are generally trustworthy rarely purchase newspapers from vending machines have relatively high incomes typically do not want more than one newspaper

Answer 1

Newspaper sellers use "honor boxes" in part because newspaper readers typically do not want more than one newspaper.

Answer 2

The passage describes how "honor boxes" for newspapers rely on the trustworthiness of buyers. It suggests that the behavior which makes "honor boxes" viable hinges on the assumption that readers will take only one newspaper, even though more are available. Therefore, it can be inferred that newspaper sellers use "honor boxes" because they trust that newspaper readers will act honorably and typically do not desire more than a single copy.
