To combat persistent counterfeiting, Lackland's currency was redesigned to include images that cannot be convincingly duplicated by the means used to successfully counterfeit the old bills. Last year, after the old currency was replaced, many crude counterfeits of the new bills were detected. But now it has been several months since any counterfeit currency has been found. Therefore, it is clear that counterfeiters have largely abandoned their attempt to reproduce the new currency, always assuming that _______.
Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
A. none of the old currency is still in use in Lackland
B. there are no other currencies that can be convincingly duplicated using the old techniques
C. they have not adopted new counterfeiting techniques
D. the penalties for counterfeiting have not increased
E. Lackland's currency is worth more than when the new bills were first introduced
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
Above is a skills insight question which I got wrong.
According to me the conclusion here was that they designed a new currency such that no one could counterfeit it and hence imo, answer should be B. I dont get why it isnt the answer? Is there an assumption that for every new design a counterfeit can be produced ? In that case I can understand that answer would be C. But if its designed in such a way that it cannot be counterfeited then there is no question of adopting new techniques of counterfeiting.
Somebody please explain.
