After a visit to the municipal swimming pool, almost the entire schoolbody of Washington Junior High School contracted a mysterious skin ailment. The ailment took the form of a severe rash, which the school doctor diagnosed as an allergy caused by a chemical irritant present in the pool’s water, and accordingly prescribed a course of treatment. Although the municipal authorities initially questioned the doctor’s findings, because within two days of beginning the prescribed course of treatment most of the children were cured, they hurriedly accepted responsibility, thus opening themselves to the possibility of lawsuits.
Which of the following, if true, would show support for the author’s judgment that the decision of the municipal authorities to accept culpability was hasty?
(A) Some types of berries can cause a severe reaction to chlorine if they are consumed right before coming into contact with chlorine.
(B) Laws mandate that any government body must award damages to any citizen if found guilty of misconduct or carelessness.
(C) Not all children suffered from the same degree of intense rashes that some children did.
(D) The science of detecting allergens has improved much in recent times, enough to be accepted as valid proof in a court of law.
(E) School doctors are usually known to make hasty diagnoses when faced with lots of patients.

MartyMurray This must be another incorrect question. Are we not assuming that municipal swimming pool water already had chlroine in it ?
