请教大家两道非常纠结的逻辑题

林清月

Several industries have recently switched at least partly from older technologies powered by fossil fuels to new technologies powered by electricity. It is thus evident that less fossil fuel is being used as a result of the operations of these industries than would have been used if these industries had retained their older technologies.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument above?
题意：一些工厂最近从利用fossil fuels的老技术转移到用电的新技术。因此，fossil fuel比用旧技术的时候的少了 ，因为这些工厂的改进了设施
Many of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies have increased their output.
许多转变了的企业增加了他们的产出   这个选项和结论无关。结论是fossil fuel 比旧技术少了  

(B) Less fossil fuel was used to manufacture the machinery employed in the new technologies than was originally used to manufacture the machinery employed in the older technologies.
说的是 资源的用途 无关
(C) More electricity is used by those industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies than by those industries that have not switched.  和结论说的物体不符合 结论说的是 fossil fuel用的少了

(D) Some of the industries that have switched at least partly to the new technologies still use primarily
technologies that are powered by fossil fuels.
一些已经转变新技术的企业仍然以fossil fuels为主要技术。与题干相悖

(E) The amount of fossil fuel used to generate the electricity needed to power the new technologies is less
than the amount that would have been used to power the older technologies.
请大家看看我的思路哪里错了....我实在没看出来这题为啥选E....谢谢


Theater Critic: The play La Finestrina, now at Central Theater, was written in Italy in the eighteenth century. The
director claims that this production is as similar to the original production as is possible in a modern theater.
Although the actor who plays Harlequin the clown gives a performance very reminiscent of the twentieth-century
American comedian Groucho Marx, Marx’s comic style was very much within the comic acting tradition that had
begun in sixteenth-century Italy.
The considerations given best serve as part of an argument that (A) modern audiences would find it hard to tolerate certain characteristics of a historically accurate
performance of an eighteenth-century play
(B) Groucho Marx once performed the part of the character Harlequin in La Finestrina
(C) in the United States the training of actors in the twentieth century is based on principles that do not differ
radically from those that underlay the training of actors in eighteenth-century Italy
(D) the performance of the actor who plays Harlequin in La Finestrina does not serve as evidence against the
director’s claim
(E) the director of La Finestrina must have advised the actor who plays Harlequin to model his performance on
comic performances of Groucho Marx

这题完全没懂....此题选D

pay attention to "Although"
arguement: the play is similar to the orginal one
ALTHOUGH Marx is similar to A(a person from different period) A is similar to the orginal one. So Marx's performance won't cast dout on the arguement.

E是说用在产生电上（新科技）的石油比旧科技的量少，也就是说新科技用的石油（转化成电能）比就科技用石油产生能量的用量要少，从而加强了观点：less fossil fuel is being used as a result of the operations of these industries than would have been used if these industries had retained their older technologies.
