OG11-9

Mayor: In each of the past five years, the city has cut school funding and each time school officials complained that the cuts would force them to reduce expenditures for essential services. But each time, only expenditures for nonessential services were actually reduced. So school officials can implement further cuts without reducing any expenditures for essential services.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the mayor’s conclusion?

(A) The city’s schools have always provided essential services as efficiently as they have provided nonessential services.
(B) Sufficient funds are currently available to allow the city’s schools to provide some nonessential services.
(C) Price estimates quoted to the city’s schools for the provision of nonessential services have not increased substantially since the most recent school funding cut.
(D) Few influential city administrators support the funding of costly nonessential services in the city’s schools.
(E) The city’s school officials rarely exaggerate the potential impact of threatened funding cuts.

OG解释

D The argument is about possible cuts in essential  services, not in nonessential services.

意思是说D项无关么

恩 我明白你说的意思 我是想问OG选项D的解释是说cuts in nonessential services 无关么

D选项 few influential city administrators support the funding of costly nonessential services in the city's shools.

一些政府官员支持学校中costly nonessential services部门的基金 （支持这个基金并不代表基金存在的可能，Reasoning也说了，the mayor's conclusion seems to be based solely on the belief that history will repeat itslef）

文章关心的是essential servieces,而不是nonessential services，D选项说的都是nonessential services的事，其实就是无关的。
