Chief Judge:The director of the Ethics and Fair play Authority would have the public believe that increases in the number of sports bookies caught demonstrate that sports betting is no longer prevalent. This is a specious argument, as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever--increasing rate at which petty thiefs are being run down demonstrates a level of safety to the public. The real cause of the increased bookies caught is a greater efficiency in using technologies that detect malpractices.
The Chief Judge’s statements, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion?
(A) The use of technology is the reason for the increasing crackdown of bookies by directors.
(B) It is possible to determine how many bookies are out at large by some way other than by nabbing them.
(C) The proportion of sports bookies that are caught is as high as the proportion of rain forest trees that are cut down each year.
(D) Modern technologies use-up resources by catching sports bookies.
(E) Sports bookies continue to be an prevalent entity.
