标题: OG13- CR 111题。还是不太懂。请教各位NN~

Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street corners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone, these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect?

A.The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private telephones and records where they came from.
B.Maintaining the fire alarm boxes costs Springfield approximately five million dollars annually.
C.A telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box.
D.Responding to false alarms significantly reduces the fire department’s capacity for responding to fires.
E.On any given day, a significant percentage of the public telephones in Springfield are out of service.

这个题目网上已经有些帖子了。但是感觉没有解决我的疑问。所以再发一个帖子请教下各位NN。

这个题目答案选A。我选C。OG上的解释说C可能存在someone alone找不到电话的情况。那A也可能有这个情况。况且题目里已经说virtually everyone has access to a private telephone. 所以我觉得OG的解释不好。

题目里说想要达到两个效果。1、reduce prank calls 2、without hampering 报火警的能力。

A我也能理解。C我觉得也能保证这两个效果啊。已经通话了难道还不知道是不是prank call么。如果这样都不能分别prank call的话。A就更加没说到这一点。光是trace。或者你有卫星监测fire？那肯定是不被允许的（带入之外的知识。）

不太理解。还望各位NN解答一下。谢谢~~~

If so, then why there WERE so many prank calls BEFORE?

大神我刚刚看了你的对一个题目的解释。能不能帮忙解释一下E选项为什么不对。谢谢啦！

At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables. However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities. Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables. Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.

The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that

A。 some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available
B。 the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals
C。 a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering
D。 a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer
E。 with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables
