Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
When officials in Tannersburg released their plan to widen the city's main roads, environmentalists protested that widened roads would attract more traffic and lead to increased air pollution. In response, city officials pointed out that today's pollution-control devices are at their most effective in vehicles traveling at higher speeds and that widening roads would increase the average speed of traffic. However, this effect can hardly be expected to offset the effect pointed out by environmentalists, since __________.
increases in traffic volume generally produce decreases in the average speed of traffic unless roads are widened
several of the roads that are slated for widening will have to be closed temporarily while construction is underway
most of the air pollution generated by urban traffic comes from vehicles that do not have functioning pollution-control devices
the newly widened roads will not have increased traffic volume if the roads that must be used to reach them are inadequate
a vehicle traveling on a route that goes through Tannersburg will spend less time on Tannersburg's roads once the roads are widened
D. the newly widened roads will not have increased traffic volume if the roads that must be used to reach them are inadequate.
请问D选项后半句什么意思?them指代什么?
就是说如果只是扩展公路 但是连接上去这些公路的路段没有一起扩展 就会成为瓶颈 限制了真正能用上新路的车辆数目
