[from...to用法]
When defining two or more end parameters, “from” most effectively linked with “to” (and more than one “to” may be used in a series of linked terms or phrases):

**1、From May 1997 to May 2000, the city’s population swelled by 400,000 people.

**2、Citizens’ negative responses to Census 2000 ranged from the indifferent to the surly to the downright obscene.

Also, the hyphen between two values (such as “5-10”) functions invisibly as the word “to” or “through,” but it should only be used alone. Therefore, “It moved 5-10 meters” is correct, while “It moved from 5-10 meters” or “It moved between 5-10 meters” is not.

我覺得from...to是用來表達層次逐步變化的內容，在不同層次之間應該用to連接。
題目public transportation跟dealth penalty應該屬於一層，constitutional and tax reform屬於另外一層，中間用to連接。
當然，如果lz覺得pt跟dp不是一層的話，可以把to放在中間，形成from pt to dp to catr，但是選項沒有這種結構，而且meaning上也不太對;)
