Passage: "Many local governments now publish their budgets online. Residents can see how much is allotted to health, roads and education, and they can compare plans with actual spending. Supporters say this openness discourages waste and builds trust. Critics point out, however, that the documents are often long and technical, so few residents actually read them. Some cities have responded by publishing one-page summaries with simple charts." According to critics, why do few residents read the budget documents?
Correct answer: D. The documents are long and technical
The fourth sentence states that critics point out the documents are "often long and technical, so few residents actually read them". No other reason is given.
