3.     It would cost Rosetown one million dollars to repair all of its roads. In the year after completion of those repairs, however, Rosetown would thereby avoid incurring three million dollars worth of damages, since currently Rosetown pays that amount annually in compensation for damage done to cars each year by its unrepaired roads.

Which of the following, if true, gives the strongest support to the argument above?

(A) Communities bordering on Rosetown also pay compensation for damage done to cars by their unrepaired roads.

(B) After any Rosetown road has been repaired, several years will elapse before that road begins to damage cars.

(C) Rosetown would need to raise additional taxes if it were to spend one million dollars in one year on road repairs.

(D) The degree of damage caused to Rosetown’s roads by harsh weather can vary widely from year to year.（B）

(E) Trucks cause much of the wear on Rosetown’s roads, but owners of cars file almost all of the claims for compensation for damage caused by unrepaired roads.

理解不了，请指教，谢谢!!!

ROSETOWN花了100万修路.修完路后ROSETOWN赚了300万.因为ROSETOWN每年都要花300万去赔因为烂道路对车造成的损坏.

答案需要支持论点

选B

结论说：修路可以避免支出300万，因为如果不修路这些钱要拿来赔偿。

问加强。

E说卡车导致了大部分的路面破坏，但是小汽车申领了绝大多数的赔偿补贴。

其实不管这些钱是赔给谁的，反正如果不修路都是要赔出去的；所以对结论不能构成支持。

错选E的同学们，大概和我本来的想法是一样的。

文中说到300 millions都是补偿给cars，E说到申领补偿的也都是cars，排除了政府支出类似款项给trucks, SUVs的可能性。

但回过头来想想，这也不算support，就算300 million给了cars，又花了200 millions给了truck，花100 million来修路总是划算的。

B说这100 million的使用寿命超过几年，当然是强烈support。如果这笔钱花了，只能维持一个季度，一年要修4次，那就等于花了400 million，还不如不修，直接赔钱算了。
