求问一道逻辑题

The recording industry is fighting a losing battle: it simply does not have the resources to prosecute all of the individuals who illegally download music from the Internet. Because the number of individuals who will be charged with a crime is so limited, the actions of the recording industry will have a minimal impact on the number of people who illegally download music.

The answer to which of the following questions would best help evaluate the accuracy of the conclusion above?

A. Will recording industry lawyers dedicate the majority of their time to prosecuting those who illegally download music?

B. Is a small minority of individuals responsible for the majority of illegal song downloads?

C. Do many individuals who illegally download songs share their music files with other Internet users?

D. Will new Internet security technology permit the recording industry to more quickly and easily identify individuals who illegally download music?

E. Will the threat of prosecution alter the behavior of those who illegally download music?

正确答案是E. 但我选了 B 以下是官方解释

(B) If a small minority of individuals were responsible for the majority of illegal song downloads, the actions of the recording industry could have a significant impact on the number of downloaded songs. The conclusion of the argument, however, was about the number of people who download songs illegally; this number would remain unaffected.

(E) CORRECT. The argument concludes that the prosecution of a small number of people who download music illegally will have a minimal impact on the overall number of people who engage in illegal downloading. However, if the threat of prosecution were enough to “alter the behavior” of others (i.e., deter them from illegally downloading music), the actions of the recording industry could have a significant impact on the number of people who illegally download music.

可能是我题意理解错误，我想的是说因为被指控犯罪的人数很少，因此这个产业对非法下载的人有很小的影响。所以我选B 想说如果只有很小一部分人犯罪，这个问题就能控制住了。

欢迎大神帮忙解答呀~~~

先看看结论，结论是说因为被起诉的人数有限，唱片公司的这种起诉行为对违法下载音乐的人数没什么影响。
看看问题，问题是问下面哪项的回答best help evaluate the accuracy of the conclusion。
再看看B项，如果是很少一部分人做了绝大多数音乐下载的违法行为。LZ认为B说如果只有很小一部分人犯罪，这个问题就能控制住了，但文中说 it simply does not have the resources to。。。如果基数很大，就算是很少一部分，起诉也会存在这样的问题。而且问题的关注点是how their number can be reduced. What should cause the reduction.
而E项是说，如果来自起诉的威胁足够大，会改变那些违法下载音乐的人的行为，那么唱片公司的起诉行为必然会对违法下载音乐的人数有影响，起到震慑作用。
BE两项比较下，E项的表述更为直接相关。只能说选最佳选项吧。
仅限个人观点，期待更好地解释~~

看 ...

答案E 中的threat of prosecution 是不是就是这个recording industry 自己发起的呢？

谢谢你的回答这题看懂啦~~
问一下你说的这个方法是指对正确选项进行 yes or no 选择来看是否会对最后结论造成影响呢？

做这种评估题很容易被无关选项迷惑，所以在看选项之前最好先预想正确选项是什么样子的，无关选项是什么样 ...
