标题: LSAT-14-2-2

2. Garbage in this neighborhood probably will not be collected until Thursday this week. Garbage is usually collected here on Wednesdays, and the garbage collectors in this city are extremely reliable. However, Monday was a public holiday, and after a public holiday that falls on a Monday, garbage throughout the city is supposed to be collected one day later than usual.


The argument proceeds by


(A) treating several pieces of irrelevant evidence as though they provide support for the conclusion


(B) indirectly establishing that one thing is likely to occur by directly ruling out all of the alternative possibilities


(C) providing information that allows application of a general rule to a specific case


(D) generalizing about all actions of a certain kind on the basis of a description of one such action



(E) treating something that is probable as though it were inevitable


answer is C, but what I want to know is why not B? thanks a lot  first!

B) indirectly establishing that one thing is likely to occur by directly ruling out all of the alternative possibilities


题干并没有体现出红色字体的意思--并没有采用排除其它可能性(清洁工倒班,垃圾车故障等等)的方法来确定答案,因此我不选它。

(B) indirectly establishing that one thing is likely to occur by directly ruling out all of the alternative possibilities

B would sound more plausible if these two words switch positions
