1) According to a recent publication by the city council, the most cost-effective solution to the problem of congestion on State Highway 1 is to build an elevated roadway above the existing six lanes. This solution makes the most sense because it will save the expense of surveying and breaking new ground for an alternate route, and will also mean that crews will need to construct half as many lanes, since the current lanes will remain in use after the elevated portion is completed.
The conclusion in the passage above is based on which of the following assumptions?
(A) That the city council has already approved funding for an elevated roadway above the existing highway.
(B) That the cost of surveying and breaking new ground for an alternate route is greater than the cost of constructing an elevated roadway.
(C) That the large number of people traveling State Highway 1 every day make easing congestion a priority for the city council.
(D) That the city council can not afford to fund the construction of more than six lanes, and so seeks a solution that will require building as few lanes as possible.
(E) That drivers on State Highway 1 are unwilling to pay a toll to use the road, and so the city council must provide all funds for improvement.
