ASK OG-77 AGAIN

calista5133

77. A certain mayor has proposed a fee of five dollars per day on private vehicles entering the city, claiming that the fee will alleviate the city’s traffic congestion. The mayor reasons that, since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus.
Which of the following statements, if true, provides the best evidence that the mayor’s reasoning is flawed?
(A) Projected increases in the price of gasoline will increase the cost of taking a private vehicle into the city.
(B) The cost of parking fees already makes it considerably more expensive for most people to take a private vehicle into the city than to take a bus.
(C) Most of the people currently riding the bus do not own private vehicles.
(D) Many commuters opposing the mayor’s plan have indicated that they would rather
endure traffic congestion than pay a five-dollar-per day fee.
(E) During the average workday, private vehicles owned and operated by people living
within the city account for twenty percent of the city’s traffic congestion.
i know the fundamental reasoning is this:since the fee will exceed the cost of round-trip bus fare from many nearby points, many people will switch from using their cars to using the bus.
a,我认为油价的上升与市长的建议无关

C,我认为对象特殊---没有车,你市长要求要5刀于我何干?没有涉及SWITCH

D,大多数人反对----我宁愿忍受堵塞也不交5刀,原有的开私车的不变,will  NOT  switch from using their cars to using the bus. 这里自己解释不通,求教!

Have you checked ETS's official explanation?  It's very important to read the official explanations for OG questions, to sense ETS's 思路。

MM，又是同样的原因：

红线部分是定语　，整句“我宁愿塞车，也不多交钱”即　我不会改交通工具的哦

关注focus：前提：cost，结论：bus than car。也就是说，原文从cost推导到了bus和car的比较。既然要求寻找原文推导的flaw，答案也必须和原文一样，包含cost和比较。

A：有cost但无和bus的比较

B：有cost，有比较

C：无cost

D：无bus和car的比较

E：无cost无比较

thank you all of three, now i have the idea,yes, the question is relevant not only to the cost,but also to the switch-from private car to the bus.

that's the point.

有个题外话的问题啊：

如果政府要收钱说改善交通，然后某人说“我宁愿塞车，也不多交钱”，可是政府已经强行要收钱了，那这个时候某人应该是 不开车了呢？还是不交钱了呢？

因为他最开始的初衷似乎不是“我不会改交通工具”而是“我就是不交钱”。这样就算政府强行受了，他打死也还是不交钱，所以不开车了呢？（因为你没法在交钱和塞车中间选，只能在交钱而开车，或者不交钱而不开车中间选啊）

当然，在这个题里面，这句话应该是无关选项，我们推不出这些人是不是要从car转到bus。

只是对这句话的重点有点疑惑。
