Over the last five years, demand for hotel rooms in Cenopolis has increased significantly, as has the average price Cenopolis hotels charge for rooms.
These trends are projected to continue for the next several years. In response to this economic forecast, Centennial Commercial, a real estate developer,
is considering a plan to convert several unoccupied office buildings it owns in Cenopolis into hotels in order to maximize its revenues from these properties.

Which of the following would it be most useful for Centennial Commercial to know in evaluating the plan it is considering?

(A) Whether the population of Cenopolis is expected to grow in the next several years

(B) Whether demand for office space in Cenopolis is projected to increase in the near future

(C) Whether the increased demand for hotel rooms, if met, is likely to lead to an increase in the demand for other travel-related services

(D) Whether demand for hotel rooms has also increased in other cities where Centennial owns office buildings

(E) Whether, on average, hotels that have been created by converting office buildings have fewer guest rooms than do hotels that were built as hotels

求这道题为何选B,我选的C本人马上就要考试了，一看到这种evaluate的题就错，大家给我指点一下这种evaluate问法的题到底如何做，有没有什么窍门或者套路。evaluate the argument 到底是要找什么？？？麻烦大家帮忙指点，发个相关的链接也行啊，帮帮忙

Most important is to enhance your reading comprehension, especially your critical thinking ability.

C is irrelevant for the decision maker here since travel-related service is not his or her concern.

I think "key words" are very important when you are trying to figure out an answer.
as in this problem,
a plan to convert several unoccupied office buildings it owns in Cenopolis into hotels in order to maximize its revenues from these properties.
the goal is to maximize the revenue from those unoccupied office building.
right now they are vacant (no revenues), so if you convert them to hotel rooms, they will be utilized no matter how much revenue they can make as hotel rooms, must be better than nothing.
But what if office buildings are becoming needed by a lot of buninesses in the near future? so they will be occupied as offices and make revenue.

那对office space的需求增加对它的计划又有什么影响呢？？不明白

If more office space is need, the owner does not need to convert the office into hotel since there will be renters available for the office space the owner has.
