Editorial: The roof of Northtown Council\'s equipment-storage building collapsed under the weight of last week\'s heavy snowfall. The building was constructed recently and met local building-safety codes in every particular, except that the nails used for attaching roof supports to the building\'s columns were of a smaller size than the codes specify for this purpose. Clearly, this collapse exemplifies how even a single, apparently insignificant, departure from safety standards can have severe consequences. 21.Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the editorial\'s argument? A The only other buildings whose roofs collapsed from the weight of the snowfall were older buildings constructed according to less exacting standards than those in the safety codes. B Because of the particular location of the equipment-storage building, the weight of snow on its roof was greater than the maximum weight allowed for in the safety codes. C Because the equipment-storage building was not intended for human occupation, some safety-code provisions that would have applied to an office building did not apply to it. D The columns of the building were no stronger than the building-safety codes required for such a building. E Because the equipment-storage building was where the council kept snow-removal equipment, the building was almost completely empty when the roof collapsed
