Business analyst: For industrial corporations in Country X, the total money spent this year for compliance with the new pollution laws was more than 500 million dollars. As a result, profits and stock prices for industrial corporations have declined noticeably. If the government does not want this heavy burden to drag down the country's industries every year, it will need to revoke the new laws.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the business analyst's argument?
A. Whether the government of Country X realizes that its regulatory activity is placing a large burden on industrial corporations.
B. What types of pollution are the most strictly regulated by the new pollution laws passed by Country X
C. Which one of the new pollution laws led to the greatest declines in profits and stock prices for industrial corporations
D. What proportion of the money spent on compliance with the new pollution laws was used for new equipment enabling compliance with those laws for many years to come
E. Whether adding further anti-pollution laws to the existing ones would cause a significant further reduction in the level of pollution in Country X
After an increase in the number of boating accidents in Jackson Province last year, the province began requiring that all applicants for boating licenses pass a safety course in order to obtain or renew their licenses. During the first six months of this year, the number of boating accidents was significantly smaller than during the first six months of last year. Therefore, the new requirement has probably increased safety-consciousness among boaters in Jackson Province.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Jackson Province has significantly more water-rescue boats in its patrol fleet this year than it had last year.
(B) The safety course now being required of boating-license applicants is substantially similar to optional safety courses offered in years past.
(C) Before this year, very few people in Jackson Province were fined for operating a boat without a valid license.
(D) The average number of boats on the water per day in Jackson Province was no less of this year than during the first six months of last year.
(E) During the first six months of this year, there were less storms that caused difficult boating conditions in Jackson Province than during the first six months of last year.

在J省的划船事故数量上升，去年政府提出要求所有有划船执照的人参加安全课程。在今年的前六个月，划船事故数量比去年减少了，说明新规定加强了人的安全意识
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
(A) Jackson Province has significantly more water-rescue boats in its patrol fleet this year than it had last year. 跟有没有救援船无关
(B) The safety course now being required of boating-license applicants is substantially similar to optional safety courses offered in years past. 去年今年安全课程差不多，无法说明问题
(C) Before this year, very few people in Jackson Province were fined for operating a boat without a valid license. 跟少量人因没有执照被罚款无关，
(D) The average number of boats on the water per day in Jackson Province was no less of this year than during the first six months of last year. 今年平均在水里的船的数量对比去年并没有减少，总量不变，事故下降，加强结论
(E) During the first six months of this year, there were less storms that caused difficult boating conditions in Jackson Province than during the first six months of last year.
