GWD 24-37

24-37 Fish currently costs about the same at seafood stores throughout Eastville and its surrounding suburbs. Seafood stores buy fish from the same wholesalers and at the same prices, and other business expenses have also been about the same. But new tax breaks will substantially lower the cost of doing business within the city. Therefore, in the future, profit margins will be higher at seafood stores within the city than at suburban seafood stores.

For the purpose of evaluating the argument, it would be most useful to know whether

A) more fish wholesalers are located within the city than in the surrounding suburbs.

B) any people who currently own seafood stores in the suburbs surrounding Eastville will relocate their businesses nearer to the city

C) the wholesale price of fish is likely to fall in the future

D) fish has always cost about the same at seafood stores throughout Eastville and its surrounding suburbs.

E) Seafood stores within the city will in the future set prices that are lower than those at suburban seafood stores.

这道题的答案是什么呢？我看到两个版本一个选c一个选e，但我选了d，而且我还是觉得d比较好，请NN们指点一下？

个人还是觉得E好，因为既然提干中讲的是in the future,那么答案也应该对应去评估将来的事

题干中说new tax breaks will substantially lower the cost of doing business within the city，结论是profit margins will be higher at seafood stores within the city than at suburban seafood stores，但题目中没有讲到收入的问题，E的prices提到了，可以收入-成本，可以决定利润

 d只说鱼的成本的一样，只知道成本，不知道收入，不可能得到利润，而且always太绝对
