Questions 22-23

Antinuclear activist: The closing of the nuclear power plant is a victory for the antinuclear cause. It also represents a belated acknowledgment by the power industry that they cannot operate such plants safely. Nuclear power plant manager: It represents no such thing. The availability of cheap power from nonnuclear sources. together with the cost of mandated safety inspections and safety repairs, made continued operation uneconomic. Thus it was not safety considerations but economic considerations that dictated the plant's closing.

23. Which one of the following if true, most strongly supports the activist's claim of victory? (A) The plant had reached the age at which its operating license expired. (B) The mandate for inspections and repairs mentioned by the manager was recently enacted as a result of pressure from antinuclear groups. (C) The plant would not have closed if cheap power from nonnuclear sources had not been available. (D) Per unit of electricity produced the plant had the highest operating costs of any nuclear power plant. (E) The plant that closed had been able to provide backup power to an electrical network when parts of the network became overloaded.

i chose A , but the answer is B.

i think "The plant had reached the age at which its operating license expired" in A is perfect match " It also represents a belated acknowledgment by the power industry that they cannot operate such plants safely." in the word of first person. why B? i can not see any relation

Spot the question type: Support

A's argument:

Conclusion: Closing of nuclear power is a victory of antinuclear cause

Because they can't operate plants safely.

Nppm's argument:

Conclusion: Its not a victory at all.

Because its more a economical issue but not safety issue.

Ok...What if safety issue is the cause to " more economical issue " ?
