Winston: The Public Transportation Authority (PTA) cannot fulfill its mandate to operate without a budget deficit unless it eliminates service during late-night periods of low ridership. Since the fares collected during these periods are less than the cost of providing the service, these cuts would reduce the deficit and should be made. Transit law prohibits unauthorized fare increases, and fare-increase authorization would take two years.
18. Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports
(A) Over 23 percent of the round trips made by PTA riders are either initiated or else completed during late-night periods.
(B) Reliable survey results show that over 43 percent of the PTA’s riders oppose any cut in PTA services.
(C) The last time the PTA petitioned for a 15 percent fare increase, the petition was denied.
(D) The PTA’s budget deficit is 40 percent larger this year than it was last year.（A）
(E) The PTA’s bus drivers recently won a new contract that guarantees them a significant cash bonus each time they work the late-night shifts.
想請問一下 這一題答案為什麼是A 百分之23有什作用嗎? 因為我想不通為什麼 這樣就可以支持PING'S 結論

Honestly, this support the conclusion some how. But, you have to realize that the
Question stem ask you to find most strongly supports. So the range of supportive is from %1 to 100%. If only support 1% is still support and better than answer that has no support.
The reason here A is right, is because B.C.D.E did not support
