Carrot farmers in a particular region have been troubled by an insect invasion that has decimated their crops. A few farmers have employed the pesticide Bug-go, which destroys 100 percent of the pests, but it causes the carrots to be a pale gold color rather than orange. A few other farmers have used the pesticide Beagoner, which destroys about 60 percent of the insects, but does not affect the color of the carrots.
Before the remaining farmers make an informed decision between Bug-go and Beagoner, they must ascertain the answers to all the following questions except:
A. Does the color of a carrot affect its taste or its nutritional value?
B. How much damage will the 40 percent of the insects unaffected by Beagoner cause?
C. Is the cost of using Beagoner the same as that of using Bug-go?
D. Will the public be willing to purchase carrots that are not orange?
E. Will the 40 percent of insects unaffected by Beagoner be destroyed by Bug-go?

Answer is E
All the choices must be answered except the issue of the 40 percent of insects unaffected by Beagoner, because this question has already been answered in the argument: Bug-go kills 100 percent of pests.
