题目：
Crowding on Mooreville’s subway frequently leads to delays, because it is difficult for passengers to exit from the trains. Subway ridership is projected to increase by 20 percent over the next 10 years. The Mooreville Transit Authority plans to increase the number of daily train trips by only 5 percent over the same period. Officials predict that this increase is sufficient to ensure that the incidence of delays due to crowding does not increase.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for the officials’ prediction?
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest grounds for the officials’ prediction?
选项:
A、By changing maintenance schedules, the Transit Authority can achieve the 5 percent increase in train trips without purchasing any new subway cars.
B、The Transit Authority also plans a 5 percent increase in the number of bus trips on routes that connect to subways.
C、For most commuters who use the subway system, there is no practical alternative public transportation available.
D、Most of the projected increase in ridership is expected to occur in off-peak hours when trains are now sparsely used.
E、The 5 percent increase in the number of train trips can be achieved without an equal increase in Transit Authority operational costs.
答案:
D
提问：
老师好，
这题目我读到的逻辑链条是：Bubway计划未来10年增加20%，但是MTA决定增加5%。offcial认为够了。
所以我选择的答案要解释为什么5%够了，我选了B。请教下逻辑思路。
谢谢

提问：
英老师，这道题没读懂。原文明明说要增加20%的ridership。但后来又说只提升5%就够了，而且是在off-peak time。这个off-peak time不在那个范围。
还麻烦老师解释，谢谢。

提问：
BCE原文没有提过，错
剩下AD.D说的是增加的车次发生在off-peak的时段，A讲的是可以达到增加5%车次的目标，我觉得A更考级原文所说的内容，所以选择了A。

提问：
留下来CD，C说的是坐地铁的人没有其他的交通工具，D说增加的ridership出现低峰那时候火车是能够用的。觉得C跟原文的前提沾边，而D原文没有说过，故选了C。
