Although the development of new infrastructure (such public facilities
as power plants, schools, and bridges) is usually determined by
governmental planning, {{U}}sometimes this development can be
planned more flexibly and realistically by private investors{{/U}} who anticipate
profit from the collection of user fees. Such profits can contribute to the
financing of more infrastructure if demand proves great enough, whereas the
reluctance of developers to invest in such projects can signal that additional
infrastructure is not needed. During the economic boom of the 1980's, for
example, the state of Virginia authorized private developers to build a $300
million toll road.
The passage implies that the "governmental
planning" mentioned in line 4 may lead to which of the following problems?
- A. Improper use of profits derived from user fees.
- B. Unduly slow development of necessary new infrastructure.
- C. Unrealistic decisions about developing new infrastructure.
- D. Incorrect predictions about profits to be gained from user fees.
- E. Obstruction of private financing for the development of new
infrastructure.
