We want answer choice that would explain why turning Hevelia into a full-service airport would NOT end the chronic delays at Greentown.

Option A says,

(A) Turning Hevelia into a full-service airport would require not only substantial construction at the airport itself, but also the construction of new access highways.

I believe this has already been taken care of in the argument when argument say,"if upgraded and expanded". So, I believe this option is not of our concern. :)

I will not discuss option B and C as you were able to eliminate those choices.

Option D says,

(D) If an airplane has to wait to land, the extra jet fuel required adds significantly to the airline's costs.

How this can be linked to turning Hevelia into a full-service airport would NOT end the chronic delays at Greentown? I am not sure but again this looks out of scope to me. Or it strengthen the point that making Hevelia airstrip available we can make planes land and save fuel but it doesn't explain how turning Hevelia into a full-service airport would NOT end the chronic delays at Greentown.

(E) Several airlines use Greentown as a regional hub, so that most flights landing at Greentown have many passengers who then take different flights to reach their final destinations.

This is what we were looking for. Even if we bring Hevelia airstrip into picture, but it won't reduce the number of flights from Greentown, so turning Hevelia into a full-service airport would NOT end the chronic delays at Greentown. (See the bold part for more clarity.)

P.S. - Please quote the source of the question otherwise MGMAT team will delete your question.
