Throughout the Popoya Islands community pressure is exerted on people who win the national lottery to share their good fortune with their neighbors. When people living in rural areas win the lottery they invariably throw elaborate neighborhood feasts, often wiping out all of their lottery winnings. However, in the cities, lottery winners frequently use their winnings for their own personal investment rather than sharing their good fortune with their neighbors.
Which one of the following, if true, contributes most to an explanation of the difference between the behavior of lottery winners in rural areas and those in cities?
(A) Twice as many Popoyans live in rural areas as live in the city.
(B) Popoyan city dwellers tend to buy several lottery tickets at a time, but they buy tickets less frequently than do rural dwellers.
(C) Lottery winners in rural areas are notified of winning by public posting of lists of winners, but notification in the city is by private mail.
(D) Families in rural areas in the Popoyas may contain twelve or fourteen people, but city families average six or seven.
(E) Twice as many lottery tickets are sold in rural areas as are sold in the city.

Given argument talks about different attitude of a community in rural area and people of a city for sharing the winning value of lottery. Rulers organize a feast with neighbors but city person spends his windfall winning over himself or his own family.
This difference in attitude can be explained by the way winners are announced. In rural area, winners are promulgated in public whereas in cities, the winners get private mails. Therefore, it becomes forced social obligation for rural person to share the money as feast with neighbors but city person escapes from such situations.
B goes with my views. B is answer.
