The metropolitan cooking academy surveyed prospective students and found that students wanted a curriculum that focused on today's healthy dining trends. In order to reverse the trend of declining interest in the school's programs, administrators propose a series of new courses focused on cooking exotic species of fish, alternative grains such as quinoa, and organically produced vegetables.
Which of the following if true, supplies the best reason to suspect that the proposed new course will increase interest in the metropolitan cooking academy?
(A) Cooking fish, grains, and vegetables relies on same culinary fundamentals as does the preparation of other ingredients.
(B) In the food and beverage industry, many employers no longer have time to train apprentices and therefore demand basic culinary skills from their new hires.
(C) Local producers in the area near the Metropolitan cooking academy are excellent sources of exotic fish and organic vegetables.
(D) Many other cooking schools have found a decline in the level of interest in their program.
(E) Many advocates of healthy dining stress the importance of including fish, grains and organically produced vegetables in one's diet.

I suspect that the word 'suspect' confused you!
What does the following sentence mean?
I suspect that the rates will go down.
It means that you believe that it is probable that the rates will go down. It does not mean that you doubt that the rates will go down.
Similarly, what does this mean?
What supplies the best reason to suspect that the proposed new course will increase interest in the metropolitan cooking academy?
This means 'which option gives the best reason for you to believe that the proposed new course will increase interest.'
You have to strengthen the belief that the interest will increase. Hope it all works out now. Option (E) links fish, grains and organic veges to healthy dining.

Kindly do not learn particular words and try to tag the questions based on those words only.
When you have the word 'support' in the question stem, it doesn't mean it is a strengthen question. You have to figure out whether it is a strengthen or an inference question.
Similarly, just because the word 'suspect' appeared in the question stem, it doesn't mean you immediately bracket it as a weaken question.
Suspect does mean doubt as in 'I suspect his intentions.'
But the meaning is different in this case 'They suspect that the virus was the cause of the problem.'
Type "suspect that" in Google news and you can see umpteen articles on how it is used. Check dictionary.com and you can see how suspect is used in two different cases.
Also, 'suspect' does not mean 'strengthen'. Read the entire sentence to figure out what you have to do.
