Bank depositors in the United States are all financially protected against bank failure because the government insures all individuals' bank deposits.An economist argues that this insurance is partly responsible for the high rate of bank failures, since it removes from depositors any financial incentive to find out whether the bank that holds their money is secure against failure.If depositors were more selective.then banks would need to be secure in order to compete for depositors' money.

Which of he following, if true, most seriously weakens the economist s argument?

ABefore the government started to insure depositors against bank failure, there was a lower rate of bank failure than there is now.
BWhen the government did not insure deposits frequent bank failures occurred as a result of depositors' fears of losing money in bank failures.
CSurveys show that a significant proportion of depositors are aware that their deposits are insured by the government.
DThere is an upper limit on the amount of an individual's deposit that the government will insure.but very few individuals' deposits exceed this limit.
EThe security of a bank against failure depends on the percentage of its assets that are loaned out and also on how much risk its loans involve.

正确答案: B

What E describes is the necessary condition for a bank to secure against failure. It has nothing to do with WHO should pay for such service or whether a depositor should pay attention to such service. Thus, E is irrelevant to the author's argument.
