Which of the following most logically completes the argument?

For the past fifteen years, tower-based satellites have been used to transmit voice communications between air traffic controllers and pilots. Over the past year, two aviation technology firms, Rion and Hirsk, have each come out with ground-based devices that allow voice communications between air traffic controllers and pilots to occur at five times the speed and with five times more clarity than the current satellites allow. Although the devices are similar in price and equally reliable, Rion's device is likely to be more successful, because ________.


(A) Hirsk has been developing air-to-ground communication systems for a longer period of time than Rion has

(B) the number of airports that require ground-based communication devices is likely to triple over the next several years

(C) it is much more likely that Hirsk's system will be expandable to serve airports as they become more congested in the future

(D) unlike many aviation firms, Rion and Hirsk develop aircraft engines in addition to air-to-ground communication systems

(E) it is easier for airports that use the current satellite technology to switch to Rion's ground-based device than to Hirsk's

E completes the passage best.

E says that it is easier to switch to Rion than Hirsk and switching from conventional modes to this new one will be an important factor while implementing this new technology.

E addresses this important factor, hence E is the correct answer choice.

IMO E

OA is E

The question asks for the statement that would explain why, even though Rion and Hirsk's devices are similar in price and quality, and both are better than the currently used satellite technology, Rion's device is likely to be more successful than Hirsk's device.

Choice A: While this may be true, since the passage clearly says that both firms' devices are similar in price and equally reliable, the fact that Hirsk has been developing air-to-ground communication systems longer than Rion does not explain why Rion's device is likely to be more successful.

Choice B: This simply says that there will be a significant demand for the products that both firms are offering.

Choice C: This suggests that Hirsk's device is likely to be more successful than Rion's while the question is about why Rion's device is likely to be more successful than Hirsk's.

Choice D: The fact that both firms also develop aircraft engines has nothing to do with why Rion's communication device is likely to be more successful than Hirsk's.

Choice E: The passage says that airports currently used tower-based satellite communication systems; since Rion and Hirsk have come out with better ground-based communication systems, airports will want to switch to one of these systems. Since airports will switch, if it is easier for airports to switch to Rion's system than to Hirsk's, then Rion's system is likely to be more successful, even though the systems are similar in price and quality. Choice E is correct.

Choice E is correct
