Hi LSAT MAX,
I didn't choose B) because I thought it was too obvious and already mentioned in the stimulus.
I thought E) was correct because "the number of passengers flying the air-traffic system is expected to triple within 20 years, and it will be impossible for airports to accommodate enough normal-sized jet planes to carry that many passengers." So, the majority of the passengers will be taking non-normal-sized jets.
What kind of jump did I make here?
Thank you in advance!

Look what the question is asking you to do. It's asking which states the conclusion in the argument. The overwhelming majority of the time, this question type will have an answer that directly paraphrases (or even just copy pastes) the conclusion in the argument.
E is wrong because it's not stated in the argument. It also doesn't even have to be true, nothing in the passage suggests that it has to be a majority, it certainly could be 30-40 percent.
On a more general note, I think it's often very tempting to dismiss an answer because it's similar to the passage. However for conclusion questions or most strongly supporteds, this is often just the right answer.
