Select the correct answer.Read this executive proposal summary:TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:I have enclosed with this message my administration’s proposal for rebuilding US infrastructure, such as roads, highways, and bridges. Our nation’s infrastructure is in an unacceptable state of disrepair, which damages our country’s competitiveness and our citizens’ quality of life. For too long, lawmakers have invested in infrastructure inefficiently, ignored critical needs, and allowed the infrastructure to deteriorate. As a result, the United States has fallen further and further behind other countries.To help build a better future for all Americans, I ask Congress to act soon on an infrastructure bill that will achieve the following: stimulate at least $1.5 trillion in new investment over the next 10 years, shorten the process for approving projects to two years or less, address unmet rural infrastructure needs, empower state and local authorities, and train the US workforce of the future.My administration’s plan addresses not only traditional infrastructure but also needs such as drinking water and wastewater systems, water resources, energy, rural infrastructure, public lands, and veterans’ hospitals.What is the problem that this executive summary states? A. Congress has failed to vote on a bill that will create $1.5 trillion dollars to support infrastructure investment over the next 10 years. B. The infrastructure of the country is in a state of disrepair because lawmakers have used funds inefficiently and ignored critical needs. C. Investments into infrastructure have been too focused on the development of rural infrastructure instead of urban infrastructure. D. A law that could allow builders and construction companies to construct modern as well as efficient infrastructure is absent. E. The United States is paying more attention to water resources and wastewater systems than to its traditional infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and airports.
