The local board of education found that, because the current physics curriculum has little direct relevance to today’s world, physics classes attracted few high school students. So to attract students to physics classes, the board proposed a curriculum that emphasizes principles of physics involved in producing and analyzing visual images.
Which of the following, if true, provides the strongest reason to expect that the proposed curriculum will be successful in attracting students?
(A) Several of the fundamental principles of physics are involved in producing and analyzing visual images.
(B) Knowledge of physics is becoming increasingly important in understanding the technology used in today’s world.
(C) Equipment that a large producer of photographic equipment has donated to the high school could be used in the proposed curriculum.
(D) The number of students interested in physics today is much lower than the number of students interested in physics 50 years ago.
(E) In today’s world the production and analysis of visual images is of major importance in communications, business, and recreation.
我倒是想听听大家对每个选项，关键是（A，B，E）的解释，因为C，D明显不对。
谢谢大家帮助。

because the current physics curriculum has little direct relevance to today’s

world, physics classes attracted few high school students.  

little relevance --- 导致--- less attractive

要说明visual image有direct relevance, 能attract student

A  说明了physics 和 visual image的关系，但并没说visual image能吸引学生
B  否定了文章的前提（current physics curriculum has little direct relevance to

today’s world），当然也不可能支持文章的结论

The assumption for the proposal is that producing and analyzing visual imageshas has direct relevance to today’s world.  Answer E fits the bill.
