A Correct answer
Explanation

The passage states that Thomas 'lives on the same street' as Vincent, which means they live in the same neighborhood. This is the only statement that must be true. We have no information about how long Thomas takes, whether it's dark during deliveries, or whether Thomas wants his own route.

AI explanation

The passage says Thomas 'lives on the same street' as Vincent, and Vincent's route covers customers 'in his neighborhood.' Since a street is part of a neighborhood, Thomas living on the same street necessarily means he lives in the same neighborhood as Vincent — this follows directly from the text. The other options bring in details (delivery time for Thomas, darkness, Thomas's wishes) that are never stated or implied, so they can't be concluded to be true.
