The Sellmuch Corporation is considering opening a new manufacturing facility in county X, but has requested an exemption from property tax for its first five years in the county to offset the costs of moving to the area. Advocates of the plan argue that the plant will economically benefit the county, despite the exemption, because of the many jobs created and the long-term tax benefits.
Each of the following, if true, raises a consideration that argues against the conclusion above, EXCEPT:
(A)The county will need to build several new roads to provide full access to the area where the plant would be constructed.
(B)The majority of the jobs created by the plant would be filled by employees recruited from elsewhere in the country.
(C)The plant would produce considerable air and water pollution that would require expensive treatment at county facilities.
(D)The costs to the corporation of constructing the facility using local labor would only be partially offset by the tax exemption.
(E)The children of those Sellmuch Corporation employees who move to the area would add a burden to the public school system of county X.

Conclusion: Advocates of the plan argue that the plant will economically benefit the county.
We have to look for an option that does not argue against the conclusion.
(A)The county will need to build several new roads to provide full access to the area where the plant would be constructed. - Incorrect - Expense to the county
(B)The majority of the jobs created by the plant would be filled by employees recruited from elsewhere in the country. - Incorrect - Not economically beneficial to the people who belong to the county
(C)The plant would produce considerable air and water pollution that would require expensive treatment at county facilities. - Incorrect - Expense to the county
(D)The costs to the corporation of constructing the facility using local labor would only be partially offset by the tax exemption. - Correct - This is an expense to the corporation
(E)The children of those Sellmuch Corporation employees who move to the area would add a burden to the public school system of county X. - Incorrect - This may again lead to an expense

We have to show that either the plan will economically benefit the country or does nothing; because we have to opt out all the option that are against the conclusion (plant will benefit the country by creating jobs and by long term tax benefits)
(A)The county will need to build several new roads to provide full access to the area where the plant would be constructed. Additional cost and no benefit
(B)The majority of the jobs created by the plant would be filled by employees recruited from elsewhere in the country. Apparently, net jobs will remain the same. No benefit
(C)The plant would produce considerable air and water pollution that would require expensive treatment at county facilities. Expenditure on pollution. No benefit
(D)The costs to the corporation of constructing the facility using local labor would only be partially offset by the tax exemption. Some financial benefit is seen.
(E)The children of those Sellmuch Corporation employees who move to the area would add a burden to the public school system of county X. added burden of children. No benefit
