句子解析：

第一句：

Automobiles are often conveniently tagged as the villains responsible for the ills of cities and the disappointments and futilities of city planning.

参考译文：汽车经常被便宜地贴上反派的标签，为城市弊病和城市规划的失策和徒劳背锅。

第二句：

But the destructive effects of automobiles are much less a cause than a symptom of our incompetence at city building.

参考译文：但是，汽车的破坏性影响，与其说是因，不如说是城市建设失职的症候。

第三句：

Of course planners, including the developers with fabulous sums of money and enormous powers at their disposal, are at a loss to make automobiles and cities compatible with one another.

参考译文：当然，规划者们——包括拥有巨额资金和巨大权力的“开发商们”——在让汽车和城市和谐共存方面也不知所措。

思考题解析：

A. the root cause for the deep rooted city ills

(城市弊病猖獗的根本原因)

作者没有这样认为，这是作者反驳的说法。

所以这是错的。

B. the most convenient transportation means

(最方便的交通方式)

作者也没有这样认为，所以错误。

C. scapegoats of incompetent city planners

(不称职的城市规划者的替罪羊)

第一句就是答案来源。

汽车经常被便宜地贴上反派的标签，为城市弊病和城市规划的失策和徒劳背锅。

不过你估计读不太懂。

再看：

最后一句，这些规划者们都感到迷茫。

也就是这些规划者们就是不称职的。

C选项正确。

D. the reason of real estate developers’ wealth

(房地产开发商致富的原因)

D选项错误。
