32. A recent spate of launching and operating mishaps with television satellites led to a corresponding surge in claims against companies underwriting satellite insurance. As a result, insurance premiums shot up, making satellites more expensive to launch and operate. This, in turn, has added to the pressure to squeeze more performance out of currently operating satellites. Which of the following, if true, taken together with the information above, best supports the conclusion that the cost of television satellites will continue to increase? A. Since the risk to insurers of satellites is spread over relatively few units, insurance premiums are necessarily very high. B. When satellites reach orbit and then fail, the causes of failure are generally impossible to pinpoint with confidence. C. The greater the performance demands placed on satellites, the more frequently those satellites break down. D. Most satellites are produced in such small numbers that no economies of scale can be realized. E. Since many satellites are built by unwieldy international consortia, inefficiencies are inevitable. og对选项B的解释是,the impossibility of pinpointing the cause of failure, mentioned in B, is consistent with the cost of satellites remaning stable!

我的问题是:为什么the impossibility of pinpointing the cause of failureis consistent with the cost of satellites remaning stable,两者到底是什么关系, 怎么会stable??

thanks for your attention and patience!!

我的理解是，就是因为impossible to pinpoint the cause of the failure

所以保险成本也不该上涨，当然与原题不合，所以不选。

the impossibility of pinpointing the cause of failure shows that the

risk has not been changed,therefor,the premium of satellite is stable and

so is the cost.

the question asked 'if true, taken together with the information

above..."

B-- the failure or reaching orbit were not mentioned in the passage..,

therefore, "the impossibility of pinpointing the cause of failure "
