The consumer advocate responds to the mayor by
(A) establishing that the mayor's figures were incorrectly calculated

(C) interpreting the mayor's evidence in a way that reduces the validity of the mayor's claim
(D) introducing a new piece of information that calls into question the validity of the mayor's conclusion
(E) pointing out that the mayor has not adequately considered the potential causes and effects of the budget shortfall
