Chlorofluorocarbons are the best possible solvents to have in car engines for cleaning the electronic sensors in modern automobile ignition systems. These solvents have contributed significantly to automakers’ ability to meet legally mandated emission standards. Now automakers will have to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons at the same time that emission standards are becoming more stringent.
If under the circumstances described above cars continue to meet emission standards, which one of the following is the most strongly supported inference?
(A) As emission standards become more stringent, automakers will increasingly cooperate with each other in the area of emission control.
(B) Car engines will be radically redesigned so as to do away with the need for cleaning the electronic ignition sensors.
(C) There will be a marked shift toward smaller, lighter cars that will have less powerful engines but will use their fuel more efficiently.
(D) The solvents developed to replace chlorofluorocarbons in car engines will be only marginally less effective than the chlorofluorocarbons themselves.
(E) Something other than the cleansers for electronic ignition sensors will make a relatively greater contribution to meeting emission standards than at present.


Plz explain especially B and E?

Brilliant anand, so E does include the possibilty of B. Really diplomatic !!

Good show. that is another perspective.

"E".

(A) As emission standards become more stringent, automakers will increasingly cooperate with each other in the area of emission control.
- Out of scope.

(B) Car engines will be radically redesigned so as to do away with the need for cleaning the electronic ignition sensors.
- Could be the case. But we're not sure if radically redesigned engines could do the job.

(C) There will be a marked shift toward smaller, lighter cars that will have less powerful engines but will use their fuel more efficiently.
- out of scope

(D) The solvents developed to replace chlorofluorocarbons in car engines will be only marginally less effective than the chlorofluorocarbons themselves.
- Absolute no. It has to be more effective or at least equally effective if they are to meet the stringent emission standards.

(E) Something other than the cleansers for electronic ignition sensors will make a relatively greater contribution to meeting emission standards than at present.
- This is true, and there is no 'at the back of the mind possibilities'. The new cleansers have to make a greater contribution if the new emission standards, which are more stringent are to be made.

(E) for me.
