Springfield Fire Commissioner: the vast majority of false fire alarms are prank calls made anonymously from fire alarm boxes on street corners. Since virtually everyone has access to a private telephone, these alarm boxes have outlived their usefulness. Therefore, we propose to remove the boxes. Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people’s ability to report a fire. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the claim that the proposal, if carried out, will have the announced effect? A. The fire department traces all alarm calls made from private tele- phones and records where they came from. 我选A。 A其实就是针对without hampering people’s ability to report a fire来说的:FIRE ALARM是可以被TRACE的,那么取消FIRE ALARM后,如果私人报警电话同样能被TRACE到,那么警方也同样可以了解到失火地点的位置。<并不是去DETER某些PRANK CALL.> C项其实在取消FIRE ALARM之前和之后,都是既成事实,对结论不起任何作用。所以是无关。
