: Goronian lawmaker: Goronia’s Cheese Importation Board, the agency responsible for inspecting all wholesale shipments of cheese entering Goronia from abroad and rejecting shipments that fail to meet specified standards, rejects about one percent of the cheese that it inspects. Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not, the agency’s cost clearly outweighs the benefits it provides.
Knowing the answer to which of the following would be most useful in evaluating the lawmaker’s argument?
A: Are any of the types of cheeses that are imported into Goronia also produced in Goronia?
B: Has the Cheese Importation Board, over the last several years, reduced its operating costs by eliminating inefficiencies within the agency itself?
C: Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected by the Cheese Importation Board deter many cheese exporters from shipping substandard cheese to Goronia?
D: Are there any exporters of cheese to Goronia whose merchandise is never rejected by the Cheese Importation Board?
E: How is the cheese rejected by the Cheese Importation Board disposed of?完全不知道是什么
没人答只好自己顶了，原文说的是这个agency做的贡献小于maintain他们的费用。所以按c所说Does the possibility of having merchandise rejected by the Cheese Importation Board deter many cheese exporters from shipping substandard cheese to Goronia?如果成立的话，GCIB的存在是很有意义的，但是要是不成立的,GCIB就没有存在的必要了 还是阅读不过关呀：（主要是这里没读懂Since the health consequences and associated costs of not rejecting that one percent would be negligible, whereas the cost of maintaining the agency is not, 头脑一晕，还以为是句子结构不完整：（
A．whether the cheeses produce in Goronia or abroad is irrelevant to conclusion of reasoning.
B. the thing what happened “over the last several years” is out of scope, This answer changes the time limited in the reasoning.
D.the word “any” or “never” used in the answer is so absolute, and “the exporters” is out of scope, the reasoning is concerning importers rather than exporters.
E:how is the ejected cheese disposed by Goronia is out of scope, the reasoning gives no information about this disposal.
C: Correct. The different answers of this statement can strengthen or weaken the given argument.
