    Marion can take the train, even though she dislikes it. The conclusion in the argument stimulus thus does not follow.

    (D) picks up on this by targeting the 'hates taking the train' issue. Since Marion dislikes the train, there is prima facie evidence that she will indeed drive to work. However, the fact that Marion dislikes the train alone is insufficient to exclude the possibility of her nevertheless taking it. (D) phrases this in abstract terms to confuse test takers.
