As a construction material, bamboo is as strong as steel and sturdier than concrete.
Moreover, in tropical areas bamboo is a much less expensive construction material than
either steel or concrete and is always readily available. In tropical areas, therefore, building
with bamboo makes better economic sense than building with steel or concrete, except
where land values are high.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the exception noted above?
A. Buildings constructed of bamboo are less likely to suffer earthquake damage than are
steel and concrete buildings.
B. Bamboo is unsuitable as a building material for multistory buildings.
C. In order to protect it from being damaged by termites and beetles, bamboo must be
soaked, at some expense, in a preservative.
D. In some tropical areas, bamboo is used to make the scaffolding that is used during large
construction projects.
E. Bamboo growing in an area where land values are increasing is often cleared to make
way for construction.

关于题目背景信息脑补的事情。排除无关和无效，在BE之中犹豫，我认为B和E都脑补了题干没有提到的信息。 B的脑补信息是high land value的地方，会用multistory building，这不一定的，如果是联排别墅呢？
同样E也假定，从别的地方运过来会增加它的成本，当然这里没有和其它材料形成比较，无法体现其绝对不宜性。

我在看lawyer逻辑bible的时候，特别提到了逻辑里面的特殊性和具体性的相关，这些大概率也是题干没有提到的内容，不知道如何和未提及背景信息进行区分。谢谢牛牛解答~

E解释的不够。Bamboo领先有两点：readily available (E 擦边）less expensive. 如果地价高的地方不能种，那也可以从别地运啊；或者周边地价低的地方就近种。
