Question
Which of the following, if true, could be proponents of the plan above most appropriately cite as a piece of evidence for the soundness of their plan?
 
Options:
A .  An effective high-speed ground-transportation system would require major repairs to many highways and mass-transit improvements.
B .  One-half of all departing flights in the nation’s busiest airport head for a destination in a major city 225 miles away.
C .  The majority of travelers departing from rural airports are flying to destinations in cities over 600 miles away.
D .  Many new airports are being built in areas that are presently served by high-speed ground-transportation systems.
E .  A large proportion of air travelers are vacationers who are taking long-distance flights.
Answer: Option B
:
B
Option: (b)
The plan proposes that high-speed ground transportation would be a less expensive solution to airport congestion than would airport expansion. B indicates that between the cities to be served by the plan there is substantial air travel to which ground transportation would represent an alternative. Therefore, B is the best answer.

No other choice could be cited appropriately. A and D both provide some evidence against the plan. A by emphasizing the likely costs of providing high-speed ground transportation is not by itself a solution to airport
congestion.

D by indicating that such an alternative is not by itself a solution to airport congestion.
C and E say that there are many travelers for whom the proposed system would actually provide no alternative.
