State spokesperson:Many businesspeople who have not been to our state believe that we have an inadequate road system.Those people are mistaken, as is obvious from the fact that in each of the past six years, our state has spent more money per mile on road improvements than any other state.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the reasoning in the spokesperson's argument?

(A) In the spokesperson's state, spending on road improvements has been increasing more slowly over the past six years than it has in several other states.

(B) Adequacy of a state's road system is generally less important to a businessperson considering doing business there than is the availability of qualified employees.

(C) Over the past six years, numerous businesses have left the spokesperson's state, but about as many businesses have moved into the state.

(D) In general, the number of miles of road in a state's road system depends on both the area and the population of the state.

(E) Only states with seriously inadequate road systems need to spend large amounts of money on road improvements.

答案是E。不理解。为什么不是B呢？
因为是别的因素，而不是交通系统，导致了企业不来他们这个state。
不是也可以驳倒这个发言人说的嘛？

pay attention to the question: Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the reasoning in the spokesperson's argument? B has nothing to do with the reasoning, and the reasoning of the spokesman is that because our state has spent more money per mile on road improvements than any other state in each of the past six years,  many businesspeople who have not been to our state believing that we have an inadequate road system are mistaken. Therefore, the only fact bearing on the reasoning here is the relationship between the road systems and the money spent on road improvements, and it has nothing to do with anything else.

Alright，又是reasoning的问题，下次一定注意要审题，到底题目中要求weaken或support什么东西。

原文的逻辑链是spokeperson 认为spent more money per mile on road improvements 导致an adequate road system
削弱就是只有那些inadeguate road system 需要 improvement 是因果倒置的削弱啊

那我的理解是：
发言人认为那些公司不来他们这个州是由于他们不好的道路系统啊，于是他blablabla的阐述了其实这个州的道路系统有多么多么的好。
要削弱的话，可以说其实这公司不来这个州的原因时他们的劳动力不足的关系。而不是什么道路系统不好的原因。
这样的理解哪里错了？

B是一个无关选项吧，和BUSINESSMAN 有什么关系呢？还有什么qualified employees
