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 6 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?

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，我的问题是为什么E比D要好？

D无关

文中没有涉及人口和面积，因此无法判断是支持还是反对。

文中涉及的是花钱修路的钱这个州花的最多和公路系统不够的关系。

我觉得是only与than any other相照应的好

仅供参考~~~

原文：spend more money on road improvement => adequate road system

NUMBER 和 ADEQUATE 无关

改造道路每mile的花费和总的路有多少有关系么？你去买可乐，你问老板，hey，可乐多

少钱一瓶？老板说，我这有１０箱可乐，你要么。。多少钱不告诉你
