City official: Landowners must clear the snow from the sidewalks along the edge of their property by 24 hours after the end of a snowstorm. The city has the right to clear any sidewalk that is still covered more than 24 hours after a snowstorm's end, and whenever it does so, it will bill the landowner for the service. All landowners whose sidewalks have not been cleared within 48 hours of the end of a snowstorm will receive citations, which always result in fines unless the landowners can demonstrate extenuating circumstances.
If all of the official's statements are true, which one of the following must be true?
(A) If the city clears a sidewalk of snow 50 hours after the end of a snowstorm, the owner will be billed for the service and will receive a citation.
(B) All landowners who fail to clear their sidewalks by 24 hours after the end of a snowstorm will be billed by the city for snow removal.
(C) All sidewalks in the city will be cleared of snow within 50 hours of the end of a snowstorm.
(D) Nearly all landowners who do not clear their sidewalks within 48 hours after the end of a snowstorm will be fined.
(E) Landowners who can demonstrate extenuating circumstances will not be billed by the city for snow removal service.

Let us jot down the points what city official is saying :
Landowner must clear the snow by 24 hours after the end of a snowstorm.
The city has to right to clear the snow after the snow, please note it is saying it will be billed only when it will give the service, not for all the cases.
All landowners whose sidewalks have not been cleared within 48 hours of the end of a snowstorm will receive citations, which always result in fines unless the landowners can demonstrate extenuating circumstances.
Now let us go with option elimination:
(A) If the city clears a sidewalk of snow 50 hours after the end of a snowstorm, the owner will be billed for the service and will receive a citation. -> This is correct answer. If they clear the snow, they will be billed for the service and they will definitely receive the citation.
(B) All landowners who fail to clear their sidewalks by 24 hours after the end of a snowstorm will be billed by the city for snow removal. -> This will only be applicable if city does the service not in every circumstance they will be billed.
(C) All sidewalks in the city will be cleared of snow within 50 hours of the end of a snowstorm. -> No where it is said that it will be cleared in 50 hours.
(D) Nearly all landowners who do not clear their sidewalks within 48 hours after the end of a snowstorm will be fined. -> This is tricky, it is saying almost all will be fined, but the passage actually saying all will get citation but we dont know the percenatage whether all will get fine or not.
(E) Landowners who can demonstrate extenuating circumstances will not be billed by the city for snow removal service. -> It is nowhere said that it will not billed by the city for snow removal, it is actually saying for citation they won't have to pay the fine.

Why A) is correct:
First of all, relevant parts of the passage and A)
"All landowners whose sidewalks have not been cleared within 48 hours of the end of a snowstorm WILL RECEIVE CITATIONS, which always result in fines unless the landowners can demonstrate extenuating circumstances."
(A) If the city clears a sidewalk of snow 50 hours after the end of a snowstorm, the owner will be billed for the service and WILL RECEIVE A CITATION.
This is correct. The landowners will always receive a citation in this case. But they might not have to pay it.
