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.
