Hi Experts,
As per Option C "A telephone call can provide the fire department with more information about the nature and size of a fire than can an alarm placed from an alarm box" thus why can't we conclude that this option strengthens claims made in the passage "Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls without hampering people's ability to report a fire "
I was stuck between A & C, and went with Option C because of the above.
Thanks

Perhaps the reason why (A) is better than (C) is that the primary part of the conclusion is that "Removing the boxes will reduce the number of prank calls," which (C) does not address.
Also, perhaps it's common knowledge that one can report a fire effectively by using a private telephone. So, we don't need confirmation of the fact that one can do so, and thus the fact stated by (C), that "A telephone call can provide the fire department with MORE information" doesn't change the support for the conclusion, which depends only on the fact that one can report a fire at all with a telephone and not on the fact that a telephone call is better.

In regards to choice A, so what if telephone calls are traced? People can still make prank calls. And even if the call locations would be recorded, there's no way for fire department to know whether its prank call. Only thing that I am a bit resistant to consider in this choice is that call tracing would discourage people from making prank calls. Is that what is happening here?
For this reason I chose C.
Can anybody help me with this?
