Mayor Tyler: In 1982 the courthouse that Roseville still needs would have cost $26 million. Now in 1992 the same building is costing the city close to $30 million to build. If the courthouse had been built in 1982 when I first showed how the building would relieve the overcrowding we were experiencing, Roseville would have saved at least $4 million by now.
Councillor Simón: Your own financial reports inform us that $26 million in 1982 dollars is equivalent to $37 million in 1992 dollars. Adding that difference to the money Roseville has saved by not having to maintain an underutilized courthouse for ten years, we can only view the delay as a financial boon for Roseville.
Which one of the following, if true, most strongly supports Mayor Tyler’s conclusion?
(A) A shortage of courtroom space was not experienced until 1990, but from 1984 to 1992 the city spent a substantial amount of money each year to rent extra office space that the new courthouse would have provided.
(B) Roseville had substantially fewer court cases in 1992 than in 1982, but in 1982 the number of court cases was exceptionally large because of challenges to a controversial law passed in 1981 and repealed in 1982.
(C) There was more opposition to the mayor’s proposal in 1982 to build a new courthouse than to the proposal in 1992 for the courthouse to be built.
(D) In 1980 Councillor Simón supported a proposal to build a courthouse that would have cost substantially more than $26 million.
(E) In 1987 a prominent judge resigned from office in protest against crowded prison conditions in the Roseville district.

It's a lot of words, but we just want to support Tyler's contention that the city would have saved money by building a courthouse in 1982. Only answer A explains how a courthouse built in 1982 might have saved Roseville money in the decade that followed, so it's the right answer.

(A) A shortage of courtroom space was not experienced until 1990, but from 1984 to 1992 the city spent a substantial amount of money each year to rent extra office space that the new courthouse would have provided.
This option most strongly supports Mayor Tyler's conclusion because it shows that Roseville faced additional costs during the delay by having to rent extra office space that the new courthouse would have provided. The expenses on renting this extra space suggest that the delay might not have been a financial boon for Roseville as Councillor Simón claims.
Here's why the other options are not supported:
(B) This option focuses on the number of court cases in 1982 and 1992, but it does not address the financial implications of the delay in building the courthouse.
(C) The level of opposition to the mayor's proposal in 1982 and 1992 does not directly address the financial consequences of delaying the construction of the courthouse.
(D) Councillor Simón's support for a more expensive courthouse proposal in 1980 is irrelevant to the discussion about the financial impact of the delay in building the courthouse between 1982 and 1992.
(E) The resignation of a prominent judge in 1987 due to crowded prison conditions does not address the financial consequences of delaying the construction of the courthouse.
