A moderately large city is redesigning its central downtown area and is considering a plan that would reduce the number of lanes for automobiles and trucks and increase those for bicycles and pedestrians. The intent is to attract more workers and shoppers to downtown businesses by making downtown easier to reach and more pleasant to move around in.
Which of the following would, if true, most strongly support the prediction that the plan would achieve its goal?
People who make a habit of walking or bicycling whenever feasible derive significant health benefits from doing so.
Most people who prefer to shop at suburban malls instead of downtown urban areas do so because parking is easier and cheaper at the former.
In other moderately sized cities where measures were taken to make downtowns more accessible for walkers and cyclists, downtown businesses began to thrive.
If the proposed lane restrictions on drivers are rigorously enforced, more people will likely be attracted to downtown businesses than would otherwise be.
Most people who own and frequently ride bicycles for recreational purposes live at a significant distance from downtown urban areas.
Choice c only gives a condition followed by IF, but no more information is provided to show whether the IF conditions would be the real case, i.e. the regulation is fully enforced, so it is of little help to the argument
目的:通过改善交通,吸引更多的购物者和工作者来downtown
问加强?
C选项:类比其他类似地方的举措带来商业繁荣,暗指本方案也会成功。
D:如果关于对机动车道的限制被很好地执行了,相比其他的举措,改善交通的举措会吸引更多人来downtown。
【D选项的问题有两个,第一是重复前提,说方案被执行,就会有人来,但是没有对方案的可行性或者可操作性进行加强,相当于说了句废话;第二,并不需要把改善交通的举措和其他的举措进行比较,这个不是讨论方案会不会成不成功的点】

D. It might be the case that rigorously enforcing lane restrictions will attract more people to downtown business than would otherwise be the case, but the information provided does not indicate how strictly lane restrictions will be enforced.
而c成了这几个中还算好的
choice c, 在其他相当面积的城市采取措施让downtown对于骑车人和行人更容易接近以后,downtown business开始复活了。correct,类比了一个例子
choice d, 如果针对司机的限制严格执行,更多人会被吸引到downtown business,比起没有执行这种限制。说的是restriction吸引更多人,但是choice c直接提到会enhance downtown business
我感觉D只是在重复文章中方案想要达到的结果,没有意义
