Davison River farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. Because of new government restrictions on the use of Davison River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average. Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since"—"—"—"—"—"—.

A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices
B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested
C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region
D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat
E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye

A. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices
If size of the winter harvest would not be compensated by the winter wheat prices, then farmers would incur losses. Hence the answer.
B. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested
The choice is not explaining why planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting winter wheat. Hence the choice is incorrect.
C. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region
-out of scope
D. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat
-out of scope
E. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye
-out of scope

What's the source? I ask because they have a grammatical error in the very first sentence and you had been posting questions from the official guide.

The conclusion of the statement is

planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat

The premise which leads to this conclusion are

per acre yield of the winter wheat would be lower than that of the spring wheat.


There should be some other related reason for the rejection of the idea of planting winter wheat. And it is not so difficult to find out the reason because, the thing which is always associated with the lower yield is the price. If the price is not higher, then the action is never profitable.

Hence option A
