From the para, we know that Allendale Police Department to able to respond to emergencies quicker, with no growth in the dept of was expenses. Also, they saved $100 million dollar.
Given this info, we are asked to choose an option that is supported by the above info and therefore act as a conclusion.
A. It is more challenging to find new sources of funding than to institute new cost-cutting measures.
Nowhere in the para does it state that it's challenging to find new sources of funding than to institute. Hence, out of scope. Rejected.
B. The amount of expenses incurred by a police department cannot be reduced unless the department workforce reduces.
We don't know that. Not only it is out of scope, it's a bit extreme to say "cannot" here. Maybe it can, or maybe it cannot. Either way, we are not told so in the para about it and hence not supported. Rejected.
C. A reduction in the workforce turnover in the police department was the reason the overall department expenses remained steady.
The para does not mention anything that helps us understand the reason they were able to keep the expenses remain steady. Hence, anything other than that info would be nothing but a pure assumption, which is however, not supported. Rejected.
D. Developing unconventional sources of funding will make it possible for the Allendale Police Department to respond to emergencies even more quickly.
Again, we don't know if it will or will not. Nothing in the para states something that confirms either of it. Rejected.
E. It is possible for a police department to respond to emergencies quicker without expanding its expenses.
Yes. This is in line with the information we are given in the para. Notice that the whole wordings here fall in line with the premises stated and hence supported. Option E
