In Teruvia, the quantity of rice produced per year is currently just large
enough to satisfy domestic demand.
Teruvia’s total rice acreage will not be expanded in the foreseeable
future, nor will rice yields per acre increase appreciably. Teruvia’s population, however, will be
increasing significantly for years to come.
Clearly, therefore, Teruvia will soon have to begin importing rice.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.
No pronounced trend of decreasing per capita demand
for rice is imminent in Teruvia.
B.
Not all of the acreage in Teruvia currently planted
with rice is well suited to the cultivation of rice.
C.
None of the strains of rice grown in Teruvia are
exceptionally high-yielding.
D.
There are no populated regions in Teruvia in which
the population will not increase.
E.
There are no major crops other than rice for which
domestic production and domestic demand are currently in balance in Teruvia.
A is the answer
E is talking about another crop that has never been argued.E is irrelevant

that is a thread involved lawyer's explaination that is very clear and sounded
gmat的cr就是让你按照他的思路走，千万别多想，费时又容易错！
一开始我也是选E,
后来仔细理解以后发现E的真正意思是
“除了水稻以外，没有其他庄稼在国内的生产和需求中是平衡的了。”
这个意思只是描述了其他庄稼的状态，但是并没提到他们可以替代水稻，所以是不相关的。
