I am not sure why D is wrong in the above question. “linked” would denote intention and that should be fine. The completion…..linked Manhattan with New Jersey’s highways, which permitted 2,000 cars to pass through each tube every hour and was hailed as the decade’s $48 million engineering masterpiece.
