People often pronounce a word differently when asked to read written material aloud than when speaking spontaneously. These differences may cause problems for those who develop computers that recognize speech. Usually the developers “train” the computers by using samples of written material read by the people who will be using the compute.
The observations above provide most evidence for the conclusion that
(A) It will be impossible to develop computers that decode spontaneous speech.
(B) When reading written material, people who have different accents pronounce the same word in the same way as one another.
(C) Computers may be less reliable in decoding spontaneous speech than in decoding samples that have been read aloud.
(D) A “trained” computer never correctly decodes the spontaneous speech of a person whose voice sample was used to train it.
(E) Computers are now able to interpret oral speech without error.
The observations above provide most evidence for the conclusion that
(A) It will be impossible to develop computers that decode spontaneous speech.
(B) When reading written material, people who have different accents pronounce the same word in the same way as one another.
(C) Computers may be less reliable in decoding spontaneous speech than in decoding samples that have been read aloud.

The argument says about the difference between the written speech read aloud and the spontaneous speech,
IMO C,
A. The option is most extreme, its not given that we cannot build at all, nothing of building of computer according to problems is discussed in the argument.
B. Different accent people is not out concern here, same persons different pronunciation is the context here .
C. Correct. this can be concluded from the argument that computers are going to have the tough time decoding spontaneous speech as its different what is has been given.
D. Never is an extreme word to use .
E. This option is against the argument , as it says there is no problem with the oral speech, its not conclusion .

The observations above provide most evidence for the conclusion that
(A) It will be impossible to develop computers that decode spontaneous speech. - WRONG. Like D only. What happens in future is subjective.
(B) When reading written material, people who have different accents pronounce the same word in the same way as one another. - WRONG. What and how they sound wrt to each other is not an inference that the passage leads to. The scope is diverted.
(C) Computers may be less reliable in decoding spontaneous speech than in decoding samples that have been read aloud. - CORRECT. POE helps but this can be chosen easily also.
(D) A “trained” computer never correctly decodes the spontaneous speech of a person whose voice sample was used to train it. = WRONG. A big claim that might not be true.
(E) Computers are now able to interpret oral speech without error. - WRONG. Not an inference based on the available passage. Needs more assumption to reach such an inference or a possible conclusion.
