Due to outdated marine regulations, when the supposedly "unsinkable" R.M.S. Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in April, 1912, there were enough lifeboats aboard to accomodate fewer than half of the passengers and crew, and more than 1,500 lives were lost. The public was shocked by the sinking and appalled at the loss of life. Shortly after the disaster, marine regulations were changed to require all passenger ships to carry enough lifeboats for everyone on board.
All of the following conclusions can properly be drawn from the statement above EXCEPT
A) Prior to the sinking, the public was unaware of the inadequacy of the marine lifeboat regulations
B) Until the disaster, the public had little interest in marine regulations
C) The individuals responsible for marine lifeboat regulations were unaware of their inadequacy
D) The public's reaction to the Titanic disaster was a contributing factor in changing the marine lifeboat regulations
E) The public's reaction to the Titanic's sinking was due in part to the ship's reputation as "unsinkable"

OA is C
OE: Each of the other answer choices is stronly implied in the passage. However, the passage offers no evidence one way or another concerning the awareness of those responsible for lifeboat regulations of their own inadequacy.
This CR comes from Peterson's GMAT CAT
My thoughts: As I went through their CR, I found many difficult ones and some were really vague, such as this one. They organize their CR by sessions of 14 questions with 25 min. each. Most of their questions are EXCEPT questions and are really tricky and as you know, EXCEPT questions can be quite time consuming. I'm happy to know I'm not the only not liking this question. Actually, there are many more that are just of dubious quality. Conclusion: although I liked their SC, most of their CR are just plain bad, IMO.

Yeah, I don't like Petersons stuff. Let me tell you from my experience with the LSAT, these peterson questions would never have come close to being endorsed by the agency that produces the LSAT material. Inferred has a very strong logical meaning. "probably implied" would be better, but regardless, this question is poorly structured and poorly supported.
