In an effort to reduce daily commuter traffic entering a certain city, the
city government plans to raise the costs of tolls on all major roads that
have access to the city. The government plans to use part of the
revenues generated by the tolls to modernize commuter rail systems.
However, critics object that under this plan drivers will unfairly pay
for a service that is beneficial only to those who ride trains.
Which of the following points, if true, would be useful in countering
the critics' objection?
(A)Once the costs of tolls are increased, many commuters who used to
drive will begin using the commuter rail system, thereby reducing
the commuting time for other drivers.
(B) The price of train tickets will also rise under the new plan, and the
increased fees will help fund the improved rail system.
(C) Users of the commuter rail system have been complaining for years
that the system is in need of modernization.
(D)Some drivers have always used smaller roads without tolls to
commute to the city and will be able to continue to do so under the
new plan.
(E) Experts agree that the modernized rail system will be faster and
safer than commuting by car.

The answer should be A. As only A addresses how the conclusion "drivers will unfairly pay
for a service that is beneficial only to those who ride trains" by the critic can be refuted.
