(B) The publishers of Science Now will lower the price of the book if a school has purchased other book titles that they have published.
(C) Science Stories was published several years earlier than Science Now and contains outdated material and inaccuracies.
(D) The publishers of Science Now also publish 11th and 12th grade material that is widely considered the best currently available.

One of the books, Science Now, costs considerably more, and is considered less in-depth, than the other book, Science Stories. Despite this, the administrators have chosen to purchase Science Now.
Premise 1: The administrators of a high school need to choose between two new science textbooks for their 10th graders.
Admin need to Choose between two books for 10th graders.
Premise 2: One of the books, Science Now, costs considerably more, and is considered less in-depth, than the other book, Science Stories.
First Book: Science Now----> Costly and in-depth knowledge is very less
Second Book: Science Stories------> Less costly and More in-depth knowledge
Premise 3: Despite this, the administrators have chosen to purchase Science Now.
Admins choose Science Now: Even its costly and Less in-depth
Assumption: There should be something bad about Science Stories book, that's why admin choose science now.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why the school administrators chose to purchase Science Now rather than Science Stories? Paradox
(A) Science Stories has fewer full-page illustrations than does Science Now.
Fewer page illustrations but still have in-depth knowledge and less costly. This is not a good reason. Wrong Choice.
(B) The publishers of Science Now will lower the price of the book if a school has purchased other book titles that they have published.
We do not know that school has purchased other books or not. If they do then its good to purchase Science Now, But if not then they should prefer Science Stories. Wrong Choice
(C) Science Stories was published several years earlier than Science Now and contains outdated material and inaccuracies.
Yes solve the paradox. Science Stories was inaccurate. Therefore, without any second thought school admin choose Science Now, even if it is expensive.
(D) The publishers of Science Now also publish 11th and 12th grade material that is widely considered the best currently available.
We do not care about 11the and 12th grade student. We just want to know about 10th grade books. Wrong choice
(E) For the past 10 years, the high school used science textbooks that were published by a company whose president is now president of the company that publishes Science Now.
Just because of the president of the company the school admin choose Science now. This is not reasonable. If Science Stories are better than Science now, then admins are corrupt people. This does not resolve the paradox.
