Which one of the following can be properly concluded from the passage?

(A) If the citizens of Glen Hills band together, developers will not build
apartment houses.
(B) If developers build apartment houses in Glen Hills, there will be substantial
tax increases for the residents of Glen Hills.
(C) If the rezoning proposal does not pass, the rural atmosphere in Glen Hills will
not be lost.
(D) If developers do not build apartment houses in Glen Hills, the taxes of the
residents of Glen Hills will not increase substantially.
(E) If developers do not build apartment houses in Glen Hills, the schools of Glen
Hills will not be overcrowded and roads will not be congested.

Hint: Read right to mark it right..(will/may).

I marked it as C--> C) If the rezoning proposal does not pass, the rural atmosphere in Glen Hills will
not be lost.
considering below sentence from argument:

Ultimately this growth might even destroy the rural atmosphere that makes
Glen Hills so attractive.

I dint notice 'might' in the sentence. A ' might/well' can do lot of damage..

However E is the correct answer and learnt that options should be read very carefully.

Thanks.
