Mr. Meltzer: Limits on offshore oil drilling here have cost consumers a lot of money over the past decade, due to the high price of importing oil.
Ms. Mantel: I disagree. Relying on imported oil has meant that we have had to limit our energy use. This, in turn, has enabled us to concentrate on alternative sources, such as solar energy and conservation.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen Ms. Mantel’s attempt to refute Mr. Meltzer’s claim?
a) There are high tariffs on imported oil.
b) There has been a significant decline in national oil consumption over the past decade.
c) Present savings on energy expenses are partly due to offshore drilling.
d) Efforts to find alternative energy sources have often led to dead ends.
e) The trend among energy experts is to explore all energy options
