The average life expectancy for the United States population as a whole is 73.9 years, but
children born in Hawaii will live an average of 77 years, and those born in Louisiana, 71.7
years. If a newlywed couple from Louisiana were to begin their family in Hawaii, therefore, their
children would be expected to live longer than would be the case if the family remained in
Louisiana.
Which of the following statements, if true, would most significantly strengthen the conclusion
drawn in the passage?
A. As population density increases in Hawaii, life expectancy figures for that state are likely
to be revised downward.
B. Environmental factors tending to favor longevity are abundant in Hawaii and less
numerous in Louisiana.
C. Twenty-five percent of all Louisianans who move to Hawaii live longer than 77 years.
D. Over the last decade, average life expectancy has risen at a higher rate for Louisianans
than for Hawaiians.
E. Studies show that the average life expectancy for Hawaiians who move permanently to
Louisiana is roughly equal to that of Hawaiians who remain in Hawaii
OA B. Could someone elaborate?
how does B strenghten the argument?

The more you suffer before the test, the less you will do so in the test!
