Outbreaks of Rift Valley fever occur irregularly in East Africa, several years apart. When outbreaks do occur, they kill thousands of cattle. A livestock vaccine against the disease exists but is rarely used. It is too expensive for farmers to use routinely, and since it is not effective until a month after vaccination, administering it after an outbreak begins helps very little. Nevertheless, experts predict that use of the vaccine will increase significantly within the next few years.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest justification for the experts' prediction?
What would strengthen the experts' prediction? The correct answer will likely tell us a reason to believe:
(1) that the farmers will use the vaccine despite the high cost
or
(2) that vaccines somehow still help
Doesn't strengthen the experts' prediction. Insecticides = out of scope.
Out of scope. We are not concerned with what unaffected countries do.
Doesn't explain why experts believe the vaccine will be used widely in the next few years. C is out.
This doesn't explain why experts believe the vaccine will be used widely. We're told the vaccines are expensive and are not effective until a month after their use. This choice doesn't give us a reason to believe the experts' prediction.
This matches our second point. If we can predict when an outbreak will occur, we can properly time the use of a vaccine! E is the clear winner.
