Mayor of Outerville, a suburb of Center City: Outerville must grow if it is to survive, so, as we have agreed, efforts should be made to attract more residents. The best strategy for attracting residents is to renovate the train station. The numbers of jobs in Center City and of people who prefer to live in suburban towns are increasing. With the rise in tolls, driving into the city is becoming more expensive than train travel. Therefore, people want to live in towns where train travel is convenient and pleasant.
The argument leads to the conclusion that
(A) the town of Outerville should attract more residents
(B) the train station in Outerville should be renovated
(C) residents of Outerville who are in need of work should look for jobs in Center City
(D) people who work in Center City but live in Outerville should commute by train rather than driving
(E) people who want to live where train travel is convenient and pleasant should live in Outerville

Premise - The numbers of jobs in Center City and of people who prefer to live in suburban towns are increasing. With the rise in tolls, driving into the city is becoming more expensive than train travel.
Conclusion - Therefore, people want to live in towns where train travel is convenient and pleasant. So.....
(A) the town of Outerville should attract more residents......but the conclusion should be related to train innovation......INCORRECT
(B) the train station in Outerville should be renovated..............CORRECT....as this is the intention behind the last sentence......showing that trains are going to be convenient
(C) residents of Outerville who are in need of work should look for jobs in Center City.........OUT OF SCOPE
(D) people who work in Center City but live in Outerville should commute by train rather than driving...........OUT OF SCOPE
(E) people who want to live where train travel is convenient and pleasant should live in Outerville.........INCORRECT..........this cannot be the final conclusion....as this doesnt captures the point about the renovation
