The number of tornadoes recorded annually in North America has more than tripled since 1953. Yet meteorologists insist that the climatic factors affecting the creation of tornadoes are unchanged.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy described above?

(A) The factors affecting the creation of tornadoes were not well known to meteorologists before 1953. - WRONG. The discrepancy still remains as in the number of factors are(possibly) still same.
(B) The intensity of the average tornado is greater now than it was in 1953. - WRONG. Irrelevant.
(C) The number of tornadoes recorded annually has increased only slightly in the last five years. - WRONG. Not concerned about last 5 years.
(D) The amount of property damage done by tornadoes has grown substantially since 1953. - WRONG. Like B only.
(E) Many more citizens are helping authorities detect tornadoes now than in 1953. - CORRECT.
Two aspects of passage - number of tornadoes recorded and climatic factors - are what somehow interconnected wherein lies a discrepancy. Any choice that brings the two aspect together or only one and gives a reason for such disconnect would likely be the candidate. E does this nicely.

Answer E.
