Hi mates i am new to the forum so a big hello.

i dont agree with the oa of the question below


Insect infestation is a danger for households in which certain standards of cleanliness are not maintained. So that householders are able to detect such infestations before they become serious enough to pose a danger, the county sanitation board has mailed a newsletter to all residents of the county, listing those signs that indicate the beginnings of an insect infestation and encouraging householders to check for such signs.

Which of the following, if true, is the best criticism of the newsletter as a means of achieving the sanitation department's goals?


a) Many insect infestations have certain characteristics that cannot be detected by the investigation of a householder.

b) Once an insect infestation is known to exist, the steps taken to eliminate such an infestation vary according to the species of insect and the locale of the infestation.

c) The newsletter was sent to all residents of the county, including those who maintain the standards of cleanliness that preclude the possibility of insect infestation.

d) Insect infestation is more common in single-family homes than it is in apartments.

e) People who do not maintain minimal standards of cleanliness are unlikely to inspect their homes for the signs of early insect infestation

i like E.

A. many cannot be detected=>some can be detected, doesnt make the newsletter a failure or useless.

B. elimination of insect infectation is out of scope. households only have to be able to detect.

C. doesnt affect the argument.

D. single homes/apartments out of scope

E. correct IMO. if those people are anyway unlikely to detect infestation, the newsletter would serve no purpose.

Initially I was thinking of E. But it doesn't give the clue that they sent the letter as a means of achieving the sanitation department's goals.

Actually I am not convinced with C either.

I'd say E but I'm afraid more because of my intuition than any logic.
