2.Crimes are mainly committed by the young, and for this reason merely increasing the number of police officers or expenditures on police services has little effect on reducing the crime rate. In fact, the only factor associated with a crime-rate drop is a decrease in the number of people in the community aged fourteen to thirty.

The findings above can best serve as part of an argument against

(A) the likelihood that any law enforcement program will be effective in reducing the crime rate within a short time

(B) increasing prison terms for young people found guilty of crimes

(C) introducing compulsory military conscription for people aged seventeen to nineteen

(D) raising the age at which students are permitted to leave school

(E) a community’s plan to increase the number of recreational and educational activities in which young adults can participate

答案是A, 我選E, 不過我是亂選....請問問題是在問什麼呢? 看不懂.....
要如何排除其他選項呢?

(C) (D) (E) 可以排除,因為沒有 increasing the number of police officers or expenditures on police services 的含意
=> (A) (B)
(A) law enforcement program 對到了 increasing the number of police officers or expenditures on police services
(B) 有此意,但比起 (A) 範圍小了些.
