这题一看就晕了

Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

The irradiation of food kills bacteria and thus retards spoilage. However, it also lowers the nutritional value of many foods. For example, irradiation destroys a significant percentage of whatever vitamin B1 a food may contain. Proponents of irradiation point out that irradiation is no worse in this respect than cooking. However, this fact is either beside the point, since much irradiated food is eaten raw, or else misleading, since _______.

1. many of the proponents of irradiation are food distributors who gain from food’s having a longer shelf life
           
2. it is clear that killing bacteria that may be present on food is not the only effect that irradiation has
           
3. cooking is usually the final step in preparing food for consumption, whereas irradiation serves to ensure a longer shelf life for perishable foods
           
4. certain kinds of cooking are, in fact, even more destructive of vitamin B1 than carefully controlled irradiation is
5. for food that is both irradiated and cooked, the reduction of vitamin B1 associated with either process individually is compounded

Unlike emergency calls that travel through regular telephone lines, where they thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller.

(A) lines, where they thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller

(B) lines and thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, cellular calls require emergency operators to determine the location of the caller

(C) lines, thus automatically informing the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, the location of the caller on a cellular phone has to be determined by the operator

(D) lines, and thus automatically inform the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, emergency operators have to determine the location of the cellular phone caller

(E) lines, thus automatically informing the operator of the location and phone number of the caller, emergency operators receiving a cellular call have to determine the location of the

怎么判断inform这个动词是做伴随还是跟travle 并列呢，意思上好像都讲得通啊？

In 1945, after a career as First Lady in which she shattered expectations more audaciously than either Abigail Adams or Dolly Madison ever had been, Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed a delegate to the United Nations General Assembly by President Harry S Truman.

我回来报告！我考完IBT了！

“1949年，那是一个春天”，走出考场的那一刻，耳边就好像听到了这首歌～～～

昨晚做模考、练口语到凌晨2点，早上8点半进考场，中午1点出考场，口语说的比较溜到，最满意的是作文，大作文要求300字，我一口气写了529个字。但是听力和阅读就不敢说了，神仙保佑我呀，希望少错一点！3个周以后出分数，希望能有个不错的托福成绩。

早上没吃多少饭，怕犯困还喝了一大杯星巴克，结果开考一会儿就开始想上厕所，中间休息的时候小碎步跑着去的，差点那什么了都，我的个娘。

姐妹们，我愿意尽我所能为你们服务AWA，我别的不敢臭美，作文我觉得自己还可以，回头我把自己的心得给大家贴上来，希望对姐妹们有所帮助！！

宝贝，IBT你不要想JJ了，北美的IBT没有JJ，就自己好好准备，踏踏实实的准备。

听说读写，什么都要好好练，就是大量练习，熟能生巧，尤其是口语。

不过考完G，阅读会感觉很简单的。
