The removal of hillsides and mountaintops, necessary for mining companies to extract coal quickly from deeply-buried seams, destroys forests. Experts therefore recommend that coal be extracted using time-consuming deep bore techniques.
Because public opinion opposes coal mining, some states now allow mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time.
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?
A. Mining companies will continue to be able to extract coal using deep bore techniques but not by removing hillsides or mountaintops.
B. The only way to preserve forests on hillsides and mountaintops is to stop coal mining.
C. New mining techniques will be developed to make it possible to extract coal quickly without removing hillsides or mountaintops.
D. Public opinion regarding coal mining works against forest preservation efforts.
E. Allowing mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time is unlikely to be a successful response to public opinion.

The removal of hillsides and mountaintops, necessary for mining companies to extract coal quickly from deeply-buried seams, destroys forests(QUICK METHOD=DESTROY FORESTS=BAD). Experts therefore recommend that coal be extracted using time-consuming deep bore techniques.(DEEP BORE=LONG METHOD=NOT BAD)
Because public opinion opposes coal mining, some states now allow mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time(PUBLIC OPINION DIRECTS SOME STATES TO LET ONLY SHORT METHOD=BAD METHOD=DESTROYS FOREST").
The statements above, if true, best support which of the following conclusions?
Mining companies will continue to be able to extract coal using deep bore techniques but not by removing hillsides or mountaintops.NOT TRUE. IF STATES LET MINING COMPANIES SHORT METHOD=BAD METHOD THAN COMPANIES PROBABLY REMOVE MOUINTAINTOPS.
The only way to preserve forests on hillsides and mountaintops is to stop coal mining.NOT TRUE. (LONG METHOD=DEEP BORE=NOT BAD=NOT DESTROY FOREST)
New mining techniques will be developed to make it possible to extract coal quickly without removing hillsides or mountaintops.WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NEW TECHNIQUES AND CAN CONCLUDE.
Public opinion regarding coal mining works against forest preservation efforts.HENCE THE ANSWER. PUBLIC OPINION BY NEGATING MININGS MAKE STATES LET ONLY SHORT METHOD=BAD METHOD=DESTROYS FOREST)
Allowing mining companies to extract coal from any particular site for only a short period of time is unlikely to be a successful response to public opinion.WE DID NOT TOLD THAT.IT COULD BE TRUE IF WE KNOW THAT PUBLIC OPINION NEGATE ANY COAL MININGS BUT IT DOES NOT STATE IF THE STATE DECISION IS SUCCESFUL OR NOT.
BY THE WAY, most of the time I feel that Knewton CR is much different from that on OG.do you fell the same?

You are assuming too much.There is nothing in the question stem that says/hints about this.
