GWD1-Q22:---answer is wrong?

City Official:  At City
                    Hospital, uninsured patients tend to have shorter stays and fewer procedures performed than do insured patients, even though insured patients, on average, have slightly less serious medical problems at the time of admission to the hospital than uninsured patients have.  Critics of the hospital have concluded that the uninsured patients are not receiving proper medical care.  However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.  Careful investigation has recently shown two things:  insured patients have much longer stays in the hospital than necessary, and they tend to have more procedures performed than are medically necessary.

In the city official’s argument, the two boldface portions play which of the following roles?

A.      The first states the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second provides support for that conclusion.

B.       The first is used to support the conclusion of the city official’s argument; the second states that conclusion.

C.      The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second states the position that the city official’s argument opposes.

D.      The first was used to support the conclusion drawn by hospital critics; the second provides support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument.

E.       The first states the position that the city official’s argument opposes; the second states the conclusion of the city official’s argument.

The first one is from the hospital critics.

Why is E? the answer is wrong? Should it be D?

Critics of the hospital have concluded that

第一句是critics的结论啊

however表示official是反对此结论的，而且第二句里还说了，FALSE

明显是反第一句的

同意2楼的，第一句是city official反对的，第二句是他得出的结论（经过调查后）

是啊，但是the first sentence is what critics of hospital proposed.

D 和 E 的区别是什么？

critics of hospital 不就是 city officer opposed的吗？

所以D 和 E 说的不是应该是同一件事情吗?

不一样哦

你看D是说support for the conclusion of the city official’s argument，是支持

而E说states the conclusion of the city official’s argument，就是说不是它来支持，而是它就是这个conclusion

However, this conclusion is almost certainly false.

这句话明显陈述了结论，而并不是去支持结论
