个人觉得E勉强可以，但是答案说A，看不明白，请nn帮忙看看

Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the passage?

A recent poll found that over 80 percent of the residents of Nalmed Province favored a massive expansion of the commuter rail system as a means of significantly easing congestion on the province’s highways and were willing to help pay for the expansion through an increase in their taxes.  Nevertheless, the poll results indicate that expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, would be unlikely to achieve its goal of easing congestion, because _______.

1. most people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the primary benefit they would experience
2. of the less than 20 percent of residents not counted as favoring the expansion, about half claimed to have no opinion one way or the other
3. the twice-daily periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown from about an hour each to almost two and a half hours each in the past 20 years
4. expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new railbed
5. the proposed expansion to the commuter rail system will make it possible for some people who both live and work at suburban locations to commute by rail

A的解釋雖然繞了個彎，但是比E好。E說部份住在郊區以及在郊區工作的人可能會搭，暗示這種人的比例不高，至少不如A中所說的八成的人來的高，因此對交通擁塞的狀況影響不大。

同意，如果铁路建好了，大家还是去用高速公路，那么拥挤现象不会被缓解。
