题目：
John was flying from San Francisco to New York with a connecting flight in Chicago on the same airline.Chicago's airport is one of the largest in the world,consisting of several small stand-alone terminals connected by trams, John's plane arrived on time. John was positive he would make his connecing fllght thirty minutes later, because Which of the following mostl ogically completes the argument above? (A) John's airline is known for always being on time (B) a number of other passengers on John's first flight were also scheduled to take John's connecting flight (C) at the airport in Chicago,airlines always fly in and out of the same terminal (D)John knew there was another flight to New York scheduled for one hour after the connecting flight he was scheduled to take (E) the airline generally closes the doors of a particular flight ten minutes before it is scheduled to take off
Manhattan 关于答案的解释： This argument addresses John's concern about making a connecting flight. The airport with the connecting flight is very large,consisting of several small stand-alone terminals. The correct answer choice will support John inconcluding that he can likely make his connecting flight thirty minutes later despite the size of theairport. (A) Irrelevant. This is a generalobservation about the timeliness of John's airline, but it does not provide any new information-it isalready established in the premises thllt John's particular flight arrived on time. The factthat his connecting flight will likely depart on time may even weaken the argument. (B) Irrelevant. Airlines have beenknown to delay flights in order to ensure that a large number of passengers can make the connection,but we should not have to make an additional assumption in order to be able to say that thischoice strengthens the given conclusion. (C) CORRECT. Strengthen. This answer choice provides information that John will not have to leave his terminal in order to reach his connecting flight. The premises describe the terminals as "small." This information provides us with the strongest piece of information that suggests John will be able to make his flight within thirty minutes. (D)Irrelevant. The following flighthas no bearing on John's ability to catch the flight on which he is currently booked. (E) Irrelevant / weaken. Ifanything, this choice weakens the idea that John will catch the connecting flight by shortening the length oftime he has to get to the second flight's gate.
我题目意思也没太明白，怎样理解“ flying from San Francisco to New York with a connecting flight in Chicago on the same airline”？ Manhattan答案解释看了也不太理解。 谁能给我解释一下这道题？ 谢谢！
