Hutonian Government Official:Federal law requires truck drivers to take a long break after driving for ten hours, but truck drivers frequently do not comply.Since the public rest areas along our highways cannot accommodate all the drivers needing a break, we plan to build more rest areas to increase the rate of compliance.

Hutonian Business Representative:But if the parking lots around our businesses are considered, there are more than enough parking places.

Which of the following, if true about Hutonia, would provide a reason for persisting with the government official's plan despite the objection?

(A) Public parking areas are evenly distributed along the highways.

(B) Truck drivers are most likely not to comply with the federal law if the total time required for a trip exceeds ten hours by less than an hour.

(C) In comparison to public rest areas, private parking lots near highways tend to be time-consuming for drivers to reach.

(D) Even when rest areas are available, some truck drivers park in places, such as highway access ramps, where their trucks are likely to cause accidents.

(E) Some public parking areas, particularly those on heavily traveled roads, are substantially larger than others.

首先我没明白问的是什么，我理解就是 选一个选项支持政府的计划而不是business的，但C，明明说的是business的好。所以不明白，答案选C，请大家帮忙分析一下。

个人表示基本做法是，第一遍扫那个选项原文没题过。
问题反正是让我们要支持政府建那个休息区
A 停车区被均匀分布，很扯……原文没有提过
B 司机们最有可能不会comply如果一个条件怎样……感觉这个选项在发散思维了，司机们会在这条件下怎样原文没有说过呢
C 相比休息区，停车场对于司机来说到达更加费时间……费时不是负面意思的嘛，而且选项说的是休息区和停车场的关系，原文有提到呢
D 选项感觉又在发散演绎了。。
E 停车场面积比其他的还要大……又是一个很扯的选项。

因此是C

Manhattan 的解释：

if a question starts with
"Which of the following, if true..."
then the correct answer will ALWAYS be OUTSIDE THE CURRENT SCOPE of the argument!

in these problems, you will have to make common sense assumptions, and you will have to interpret statements and their consequences in the most probable way. if you try to solve these types of problems with formal rules and logic, you will not be able to solve any of them.

note the prompt:
...provide a reason for persisting with the government official's plan despite the objection?

--> this means that we have to show that the objection is invalid.

if choice (c) is true, then the most probable interpretation is that truckers will not take advantage of this option for the same reason they aren't taking advantage of it now -- because the private parking lots are too far away. in this case, since the private parking lots already exist and the truckers aren't using them for the reason stated here, we can throw away the objection.

题目问的是would provide a reason for persisting with the government official's plan despite the objection?

就是问“什么可以为政府官员的计划提供支持的理由，即使有以下的反对”

明显c 可以很好的解释了parking lots的缺憾，所以有了建造rest areas 的必要，其他选项都没能做到这一点，所以选c
