According to the Tristate Transportation Authority, making certain improvements
to the main commuter rail line would increase ridership dramatically.
The authority plans to finance these improvements over the course of five
years by raising automobile tolls on the two highway bridges along the route
the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed,
authority's plan for securing the necessary funds should be rejected because
it would unfairly force drivers to absorb the entire cost of something from
which they receive no benefit.
Which of the following, if true, would cast the most doubt on the
effectiveness of the authority's plan to finance the proposed improvements by
increasing bridge tolls?
(A) Before the authority increases tolls on any of the area bridges, it is
required by law to hold public hearings at which objections to the proposed
increase can be raised.
(B) Whenever bridge tolls are increased, the authority must pay a private
contractor to adjust the automated toll-collecting machines.
(C) Between the time a proposed toll increase is announced and the time
the increase is actually put into effect, many commuters buy more tokens
than usual to postpone the effects of the increase.
(D) When tolls were last increased on the two bridges in question, almost 20
percent of the regular commuter traffic switched to a slightly longer
alternative route that has since been improved.
(E) The chairman of the authority is a member of the Tristate Automobile Club
that has registered strong opposition to the proposed toll increase.
答案是D
我當初選對是因為其他都被刪光了剩下D，可是看完了CD的討論後還是不明瞭為什麼D會
反駁上文，麻煩各位大大解惑~謝謝!
