Editor: We use the computer to check the length of our articles, but surprisingly there is good reason to believe that the word count it provides is inaccurate. Several times when an article's words were carefully counted by our most reliable copy editor, the resulting count differed from the count the computer gave.
The editor's reasoning relies on which of the following assumptions?
(A) The criteria that the computer uses in determining what constitutes a single word differ from the criteria that the copy editor uses.
(B) The inaccuracy of the computer's word count does not result from a malfunction of the computer itself.
(C) It would be possible to modify the computer so that it counted words more accurately.
(D) A careful count by the copy editor is unlikely to be less accurate than the computer's count
(E) The accuracy of the computer's word count is not dependent on the length of the article that it is measuring.
Please explain the OA - D
