119. 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 high-way bridges along the route the rail line serves. Although the proposed improvements are indeed needed, the 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.
我想问的是：选项中的C和D都对the authority’s plan to finance ……的 effectiveness 产生了置疑，而答案选择是D，那么是怎么排除C的呢？
顶！！！！！！！！
maya的这个问题我也想知道
答案是对比出来的. B, C的做法损失与5年收入相比只是小CASE.
拜托楼主贴的贴字大点。看完这道题，我的眼镜一下子深了50度。
C的错误（其实这种模陵两可说话方式在任何情况下都不会是正确选项）：C是延迟效果（postpone the effects ），还是有效果，只是满点，而问题是怀疑效果（即没效果）。其实从现实角度讲，这个计划要5年进行，多买点票能用多久。所以还是不能从根本上怀疑计划的效果。
D却不同，它是20%的人根本就不走这条路。将收入一下子降了差不多20%。一下子动摇了计划是否能实现。
