109．Springfield Fire Commissioner: The vast majority offalse fire alarms are prank calls made anonymouslyfrom fire alarm boxes on street corners. Since virtuallyeveryone has access to a private telephone, thesealarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore,we propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxeswill reduce the number of prank calls withouthampering 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 $5 million annually.

(0A 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.

答案是A..没有问题·
只是不知道为什么OG说E选项是weakens support for (2):doing so will not hamper people's ability to report fires
自己觉得public telephones在这儿是无关选项吖··又不懂OG了···

谢谢3楼的回复·但做CR时就是要把自己当白痴，不要用任何的背景知识·
既然文中根本就没有提供public telephone, 还是当无关的好·
OG有时候有点自相矛盾的感觉··
