Suncorp, a new corporation with limited funds, has been clearing large sections of the tropical Amazon forest for cattle ranching. This practice continues even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which does not destroy the forest, than from cattle ranching, which does destroy the forest.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain why Suncorp has been pursuing the less profitable of the two economic activities mentioned above?
(A) The soil of the Amazon forest is very rich in nutrients that are important in the development of grazing lands.
(B) Cattle-ranching operations that are located in tropical climates are more profitable than cattle-ranching operations that are located in cold-weather climates.
(C) In certain districts, profits made from cattle ranching are more heavily taxed than profits made from any other industry.
(D) Some of the cattle that are raised on land cleared in the Amazon are killed by wildcats.
(E) The amount of money required to begin a rubber-tapping operation is twice as high as the amount needed to begin a cattle ranch.
题目分析：A说土壤营养问题，跑题，干掉。B说热带，cattle-ranching比在寒带更挣钱，没说过这个比较，干掉。C说in certain districts，这个地区是原文谈的那个雨林吗？有可能是有可能不是，发散性选项。D说一些cattle别夜猫杀死了，显然跑题E说开始rubber-tapping需要的钱是开始cattle ranch的两倍，看看你的问题，问为什么这两种行为suncorp这个公司挣钱会少，这个原因必须是这两种行为的差异吧，否则不会引起less profitable的，只有E选项说的是这两种行为的差异，并且说的还是钱多少，和profit有关联，选E。
