9. Governments have only response to public criticism of socially necessary services regulation of the activity of providing those services. But governments inevitably make the activity more expensive by regulating it, and that is particularly troublesome in these times of strained financial resources.However, since public criticism of child-care services have undermined all confidence in such services, and since such services
are socially necessary, the government is certain response.
Which one of the following statements can be infered from the passage?
A).The quality of child care will improve.
B).The cost of providing child care services will increase.
C).The government will use the funding to foster the advances in child care.
D).If public criticism of policy is strongly voiced, the government is certain to respond
E). If child care services are not regulated, the cost of providing child care will not increase.
The answer is B. About this question, I have no idea, can any master help analyze. Thanks in advance.

文章的的推理是这样的:

1.政府只对有必要的服务进行回应,并作出规定.
2.政府进行规定的服务成本都会增加.
3. child care service 是政府必须作出回应的服务.

因此, child care service 的成本会提高.
用无关词排除法可排除A、C、D（因为归纳题只要是文中没有提供的信息均是无关选项）。

E是原文的否命题，不正确。 只有逆否命题才是等价的。

我做这道逻辑提的时候是这么想的：

条件：
政府只对公众批评较多的社会必须的services regulation进行回应
＋由于资金紧张，政府不能及时解决

child-care services 这个问题遭到民众的批评，可以推测：

B：提供child-care services 的花费将增加，即政府开始regulate it，亦即政府的回应。
