求助啊~~~~~~~~~~
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 reducing 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 contain an indication that
expansion of the rail system, if successfully completed, might be unlikely to achieve its goal of reducing congestion,
because________________.
A.  most people in favor of expanding the rail system reported less congestion during their highway commute as the
primary benefit they would experience
B.  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
C.  the twice-dairy periods of peak congestion caused by people commuting in cars have grown, over the past 20
years, from about an hour each to about two hours each
D.  expanding the commuter rail system will require the construction of dozens of miles of new bed
E.  the proposed expansion would make commuting by rail possible for many people who Eve in one suburb and
work in a different suburb of the province's main city
答案是A
解释：A.  Correct. This shows that the poll data indicate that most of the residents who favor the new rail system plan to keep commuting by car—thus still contributing to highway congestion.

我怎么看不出A选项的意思是“most of the residents who favor the new rail system plan to keep commuting by car—thus still contributing to highway congestion.”

premises: >80% residents favored an expansion of the commuter rail system to reduce congestion on highways (80%的人支持通勤铁路系统的扩张来缓解公路的拥堵).
Conclusion: the expansion of rail system might be unlikely to achieve its goal of reducing congestion.
Question: 按照manhattan CR的分类此题属于strengthen the conclusion.

要从premise-这么多人同意扩张铁路系统来缓解公路的堵塞推出 conclusion-扩张铁路系统但是公路的堵塞不会缓解。中间需要我们introduce additional supporting evidence - 在这些同意铁路系统扩张的人中，有很大一部分人表示作为他们主要出行方式的公路交通并不是很拥挤。潜在的意思就是这些人仍然会保持用公路交通的出行方式。因为这部分人不会改变出行方式，所以仍然会造成highway congestion. （A选项）

我觉得这里面有个比较绕的逻辑就是：既然这么多人表示公路交通不是很拥挤，那么他们怎么会去投票支持铁路系统的扩充来缓解公路的拥挤呢？

我想了一个比较合理的解释就是：因为在很多调查里面，人们常常会被问到“是否觉得做A这件事是有必要的？”人们的反应通常会回答“是”。但是实际上人们的需求也许并非如此。举个例子：政府征求意见说在河两岸修一座桥连接AB两地，以方便大家出行。投票显示很多人都赞同。但是这些表示赞同的人里面很可能很多人一辈子也不会经过这座桥几次，所以就达不到“方便大家出行”这个目的。

也不知道这样的解释LZ觉得合理不？一起探讨啊~~~

A答案的意思应该是：绝大多数支持扩张铁路系统的人都表示（此举施行之后而）不那么拥堵的的高速路汽车往返仍是他们的首选交通方式。【其实说白了就是，那些支持铁路扩张的人都是希望那些和自己抢高速的人去坐火车，但是很明显如果大家都这样想的话就没有扩张的意义了。】

我认为A选项说“大部分在调研中支持扩展铁路的人，都预期‘不再拥堵的高速路汽车往返’是这个措施所能带来的最主要益处”。言外之意，他们都预期有了铁路较少人会再用高速路，但是他们自己却都还要用高速路。
