The caretakers at the Schwimmer-Rock Zoo have failed to detect numerous preventable diseases in the zoo’s animals before they became serious. Several other zoos in the country have managed to reduce the mortality rate from preventable diseases among their animals by 15 to 30 percent by instituting mandatory, monthly full-body checkups of each animal. To detect preventable diseases early, thereby reducing animal mortality rates, the Schwimmer-Rock Zoo will institute the same policy.

Which of the following, if true, may potentially be a drawback in the policy of instituting checkups of each animal?

A. In zoos without monthly, full-body checkups, the animal mortality rate is 30 percent above the average mortality rate in all zoos in the country.
B. The zoo’s owners prefer that checkup schedules be set so as to minimize the amount of time that the animals will not be on display.
C. There are more animals in the Schwimmer-Rock Zoo than there are in the zoos that have instituted mandatory, monthly full-body checkups.
D. Newly hired caretakers would find it difficult to conduct so many checkups so often, unless they were provided with additional training.
E. Frequent full-body checkups of all animals would require significant additional expenses and increase pressure on the zoo’s stringent budget

E is the best choice.
