19. Even though most universities retain the royalties from faculty members’ inventions, the faculty members retain the royalties from books and articles they write. Therefore, faculty members should retain the royalties from the educational computer software they develop.
The conclusion above would be more reasonably drawn if which of the following were inserted into the argument as an additional premise?
A. Royalties from inventions are higher than royalties from educational software programs.
B. Faculty members are more likely to produce educational software programs than inventions.
C. Inventions bring more prestige to universities that do books and articles.
D. In the experience of most universities, educational software programs are more marketable that are books and articles.
E. In terms of the criteria used to award royalties, educational software programs are more nearly comparable to books and articles than to inventions.
对题目的意思及E选项的意思,即 educational software programs, books and articles 和inventions. 的关系不太明了,请指教,谢谢!

不是指教，我的理解是：题目的意思是 尽管大学对其教职员的发明享有知识产权，但教职员对其写的书籍和文章享有知识产权，所以教职员应对其开发的教育程序享有知识产权。
由于文中的结论和前提之间缺少一个联系，即文中没有解释为何在这个前提下可以推出这个结论，所以答案应补充这个解释。我想E是答案，它的意思是根据授予知识产权的标准，教育软件更接近书籍和文章而不是发明。

E: "educational software programs" is more likely to be in the "books and articles" category, than in the "inventions" category, according to the criteria.
for "faculty member"---retain royalties from "books..."
"unversities"----retain royalties from "inventions"
thus, faculty member should retain royalties from "educational software..."

原文直接表达了结论: 事物X在Z方面如何如何，所以事物Y在Z方面也应该如何，此结论成立的前提是在Z方面X和Y类似 !!!
