Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarmsare prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on streetcorners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone,these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, wepropose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce thenumber of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that theproposal, 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

approximatelyfive million dollars annually.
C.A telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about thenature and size of a fire than can an alarm placedfrom 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 telephonesin Springfield

are out of service.

这题真的选C,为何呀@!??

这道题我感觉alarm call和privatetelephone call是不一样的,也就是说前者可能只是警报,后者是电话
题目中的结论是警报boxes应该被移除,移除后恶作剧警报会减少,原因是每每个人都有私人电话可以报警,警报盒子多余,问加强
C选项说了私人电话比警报盒子更好,推出应该移除警报盒子所以我选了C

我认为选A
题干里要加强的是这个supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect!
即Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people's ability to report a fire.说明移除box会减少恶作剧报警而且并不会妨碍人们正常报警
前文已经说过Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone,these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness.现在用private phone就可以报警。而box是匿名电话所以会被用来恶作剧。
现在真正要加强的是移除box会减少恶作剧嘛。A选项表明电话可以被追踪,自然无法恶作剧了。C没提到这一点
