In the country of Marut, the Foreign Trade agency's records were reviewed in 1994 in light of information then newly available about neighboring Goro. The review revealed that in every year since 1963, the agency's projection of what Goro's gross national product (GNP) would be five years later was a serious underestimate. The review also revealed that in every year since 1963, the agency estimated Goro's GNP for the previous year—a Goro state secret—very accurately.


Of the following claims, which is most strongly supported by the statements given?



(A) Goro's GNP fluctuated greatly between 1963 and 1994.


(B) Prior to 1995, Goro had not released data intended to mislead the agency in making its five-year projections.


(C) The amount by which the agency underestimated the GNP it projected for Goro tended to increase over time.


(D) Even before the new information came to light, the agency had reason to think that at least some of the five-year projections it had made were inaccurate.


(E) The agency's five year projections of Goro's GNP had no impact on economic planning in Marut.

 


In Marut, Foreign Trade agency's records were reviewed in 1994 in light of information then newly available about neighboring Goro.


It is given that the review revealed that- 

every year since 1963

the agency estimated Goro's GNP for the previous year—a Goro state secret—very accurately.

And that

the agency's projection of what Goro's gross national product (GNP) would be five years later was a serious underestimate

We need to find an option that is most strongly supported by the statements given


(A) Goro's GNP fluctuated greatly between 1963 and 1994.

There’s no data to support this. Eliminate


(B) Prior to 1995, Goro had not released data intended to mislead the agency in making its five-year projections.

There’s no data that suggests that Goro had not released data intended to mislead the agency. Eliminate. 


(C) The amount by which the agency underestimated the GNP it projected for Goro tended to increase over time.


The agency’s projection was a serious underestimate. The amount by which the agency underestimated the GNP it projected for Goro tended to increase over time is not supported by the statements given. 


(D) Even before the new information came to light, the agency had reason to think that at least some of the five-year projections it had made were inaccurate.


This is supported by the argument.

It is given that the agency estimated Goro's GNP for the previous year—a Goro state secret—very accurately.

Only the agency's projection of what Goro's gross national product (GNP) would be five years later was a serious underestimate. 

This shows that there was a difference in both the figures ( one- that is almost accurate and the other one that was a serious underestimate) This gives them a reason to think that at least some of the five-year projections it had made were inaccurate.

Correct


(E) The agency's five-year projections of Goro's GNP had no impact on economic planning in Marut.

It is beyond the scope of the argument to say that the agency's five year projections of Goro's GNP had no impact on economic planning in Marut. Eliminate
