Problem to Comprehend this question

Expert replies

When the government of a nation announced recently that a leader of the nation’s political opposition had died of a mysterious illness in prison, few seasoned observers of the regime were surprised. As the police captain in an old movie remarked when asked about the condition of a prisoner, “We’re trying to decide whether he committed suicide or died trying to escape.”
The statements above invite which of the following conclusions?
(A) The opposition leader was probably killed trying to escape from prison.
(B) The opposition leader may not be dead at all.
(C) It is unlikely that the head of the regime knows the true cause of the opposition leader’s death.
(D) The opposition leader probably killed himself.
(E) The regime very likely was responsible for the death of the opposition leader.

I think it is E, as the passage says that the govt most probably is responsible for the death

Hi, The answer shld be E, as it is clear that the prisoner has died and according to policeman they are TRYING TO DECIDE- decide what - the cause of death- the word should be trying to conclude- not decide- so they know the prisoner is dead and are deciding to attribute this death to suicide or being killed while escaping from priosn....

Moreover this thing is being compared to present situation where a prisoner has died of mysterious illness....so if u are to compare the bothe situations..both were prisoners...both died in captivity...second case is cited just to compare with present case

My answer would be E.... what is the official answer...can you reply?
