20. Despite the approach of winter, oil prices to industrial customers are exceptionally low this year and likely to remain so. Therefore, unless the winter is especially severe, the price of natural gas to industrial customers is also likely to remain low.
Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the conclusion above?
(A) Long-term weather forecasts predict a mild winter.
(B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead.
(C) The largest sources of supply for both oil and natural gas are in subtropical regions unlikely to be affected by winter weather.
(D) The fuel requirements of industrial users of natural gas are not seriously affected by the weather.
(E) Oil distribution is more likely to be affected by severe winter weather than is the distribution of natural gas.

題目是說儘管冬天即將到來,今年的油價出奇地低而且會繼續維持.因此除非今年冬天很嚴酷,則天然氣的價錢也可能維持低價
我知道CDE都不是錯的
可是為何選B不選Aㄋ?

對industrial customers來說 當然是買oil 最便宜的price
今年oil prices to industrial customers 會唯超低價的狀態

Therefore, 除非冬天的天氣很糟糕 ie)大風雪
不然 the deamand of natural gas will remain low.

Infer
天氣不好=> industrial customers 會選則最方便的解釋方法=>買natural gas instead of oil (如果natural gas 比較近)
因為天氣糟路況差不方便開較遠的地方


總結是:
天氣好 超低價>便利
天氣糟 超低價<便利


Support 這論點選 (B)
(B) The industrial users who consume most natural gas can quickly and cheaply switch to using oil instead
