There are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt. Two million couples are currently waiting to adopt, but in 1982, the last year for which figures exist, there were only some 50,000 adoptions.
Which of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the author’s claim that there are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt?
(A) The number of couples waiting to adopt has increased significantly in the last decade - No effect on conclusion
(B) The number of adoptions in the current year is greater than the number of adoptions in any preceding year - No bearing
(C) The number of adoptions in a year is approximately equal to the number of children available for adoption in that period - Correct
(D) People who seek to adopt children often go through a long process of interviews and investigation by adoption agencies - OFS
(E) People who seek to adopt children generally make very good parents - OFS

Which of the following statements, if true, most strengthens the author’s claim that there are far fewer children available for adoption than there are people who want to adopt?
(A) The number of couples waiting to adopt has increased significantly in the last decade. There's no mention of the number of children available for adoption
(B) The number of adoptions in the current year is greater than the number of adoptions in any preceding year. There's no mention of the number of children available for adoption in proportion to the number of adults who wish to adopt
(C) The number of adoptions in a year is approximately equal to the number of children available for adoption in that period. If the number of adoptions is limited to the number of children available, this definitely strengthens to the conclusion that there are more people who want to adopt relevant to the number of children available to be adopted.
(D) People who seek to adopt children often go through a long process of interviews and investigation by adoption agencies. The adoption process isn't relevant.
(E) People who seek to adopt children generally make very good parents.The quality of parenting isn't relevant.

(A) The number of couples waiting to adopt has increased significantly in the last decade. -# of couples might have increased, but we still don't know about the # of children ready to be adopted.
(B) The number of adoptions in the current year is greater than the number of adoptions in any preceding year. -we still don't know about the # of children ready to be adopted.
(C) The number of adoptions in a year is approximately equal to the number of children available for adoption in that period. -Correct. If the last year there were 50,000 adoptions, then there were appx. 50,000 children to be adopted. As per the premise, this option satisfies our criteria.
(D) People who seek to adopt children often go through a long process of interviews and investigation by adoption agencies. -We are not worried about the process.
(E) People who seek to adopt children generally make very good parents. -We are not worried about the quality of parents.
