Can someone help with this question, the discussion on its link backs up the incorrect answer so its unhelpful

The flight from Country D to Country T takes 5 hours and includes two layovers along the way. The time by train is only 4.5 hours. To save time and money, vacationers from Country D should take the train to Country T.

Which of the following, if true, would best strengthen the above argument?

A. For most residents of Country D, costs of the trip via train are the same as costs of the trip via plane.
B. The routes for both the flight and the train ride from Country T to Country D are the same as the respective routes going in the opposite direction.
C. The flight time of 5 hours is atypical for the trip from Country D to Country T.
D. The train ride from Country D to Country T offers a higher level of comfort.
E. The airline that flies from Country D to Country T no longer offers bonus points that can be redeemed for a cash rebate.

Its talk about vip and all of the stuff out

Doesn’t even make sense

E,C,D goes out

So basically it say that train is better option for cost so we have to break the argument by saying noo it does not both are the same as it is--- so by B goes really well and if you see the rest option e,c,d are out and we left we two B,A i would think I might be better but its talk about vip and all of this stuff and no where in argument mention about that so out so imo- b

E can be argued, if one is getting cash for 0.5hours - it could be worth it
A -> vacationers saving time and money is important so trains should cost same
B is the most irrelevant one, we are talking about D to T, return journey can be through a different transport if they want

A definite YES is sufficient. A definite NO is sufficient.

Something which swings both ways in 1 statement, is insufficient
