The second one, it summarises the information in the most logical way

Answer:

D. The high-speed rail lines currently under construction . . . are anticipated for completion by 2023.

Explanation:

Ellipses are used to omit words, phrases or clauses (from a speech or writing) that are not relevant or that can be understood from the context, in order to focus on the most important information quickly. In this case, option D has the sentence that best uses ellipses because it omits “in Los Angeles, Chicago, Orlando, and Albany” to focus on the main point of the sentence which is the current state of the high-speed rail lines and when they are expected to be completed.
