Escalating worldwide demand for corn has led to a sharp increase in the market price of corn, and corn prices are likely to remain high.Corn is extensive used as feed for livestock, and because profit margins are tight in the livestock business, many farmers are expected to leave the business.With fewer suppliers, meat prices will surely rise.Nonetheless, observers expect an immediate short-term decrease in meat prices.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to justify the observers’ expectation?

A.The increase in corn prices is due more to a decline in the supply of corn than to a growth in demand for it.

B.Generally, farmers who are squeezed out of the livestock business send their livestock to market much earlier than they otherwise would.

C.Some people who ate meat regularly in the past are converting to diets that include little or no meat.

D.As meat prices rise, the number of livestock producers is likely to rise again.

E.Livestock producers who stay in the business will start using feed other than corn more extensively than they did in the past.

理一下题目的推理路线:

供求关系是适用的.

全球对谷物需求升高导致它市场价格升高.养殖牲畜的人要用谷物来喂养,这一行利润本来就很薄,喂养成本上升后造成日子更加难过,于是有一部分想要退出了.那么供应减少后,物以稀为贵,肉价接下来该涨了.但是观察家的预测是,短期内肉价会跌一跌.为嘛呢.所以要找和肉有关的,corn的那个已经没关系了.B说,那些打算推出行业的人,准备提前把肉们拉出来卖.那短期内供应不是增多了么,所以肉价暂时下调.这个解释是合理的.
