Only one pie can win first place at the annual pie-baking contest held at the county fair. Pies will be judged for flavor, freshness of ingredients, proper “doneness,” and distinctness among the pies entered in the contest. The contest rules provide that only fruit-filled pies may be entered.
Which of the following would best support a prediction that the winning pie at the pie-baking contest will be a cherry pie?
(A) More cherry pies than any other type of pie have been entered in the contest.
(B) Achieving proper doneness is more difficult with fresh cherries than with other pie ingredients.
(C) Fresh fruits are not available to any of the pie-baking contestants.
(D) Judges prefer the flavor of cherry pies over the flavors of other pies.
(E) Baking fresh cherries to their proper doneness results in over-baking the pie’s crust.

Pies will be judged for flavor, freshness of ingredients, proper “doneness,” and distinctness among the pies entered in the contest.
ACCORDING to the question, cheery pie winning chances will be higher when it satifies the said judging points - flavor, freshness of ingredients, proper “doneness,” and distinctness among the pies.
the statement which best support a prediction that the winning pie at the pie-baking contest will be a cherry pie is -
(A) More cherry pies than any other type of pie have been entered in the contest.(If more cheery pies enter in the contest there will be less distinctiveness among cherry pies, weakening the argument)(Incorrect)
(B) Achieving proper doneness is more difficult with fresh cherries than with other pie ingredients.(Negating the passage inference. If cherry pie can't be made to perfection, it will not win)(Incorrect)
(C) Fresh fruits are not available to any of the pie-baking contestants.(If fresh fruits are not available the competition can't be held at all)(Incorrect)
(D) Judges prefer the flavor of cherry pies over the flavors of other pies.(Yes, if the judges prefer cherry cake, there is surety that the cherry pie will win at the end)(Correct)
(E) Baking fresh cherries to their proper doneness results in over-baking the pie’s crust.(Over-cooking could create rustic effect in overall perfection and the pie will not win the competition)(Incorrect)
