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E
虽然知道其他4个选项都不正确，可E还是觉得有点奇怪，题目中又没有告知这个state有没有seriously inadequate

lz反过来想一下， our state has spent more money per mile on road improvements than any other state-->our state has spent large amounts of money on road improvements-->as only states with serously inadequate road systems need to spend so much money, our state must have seriously inadequate road systems. This contradicts the conclusion that The belief that the state has an inadequate road system are mistaken.
seriously只是程度词，seriously inadequate当然也属于inadequate systems.

那再麻烦问一下，用不用考虑两方人说话的时间呢，企业家认为我们州路况不好，是认为6年前的不好还是在我们投入大价钱修整之后的不好，我们说的我们州的路好，是6年前还是指现在。跟童鞋纠结了好半天，求解答求解答~~~
