请问E选项为何不行??

Q40:

From 1973 to 1976, total LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> consumption of cigarettes increased 3.4 percent,

and total sales of chewing tobacco rose 18.0 percent. During the same period, total

LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> population increased 5.0 percent.

If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions can be properly drawn?

A. LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> manufacturers of tobacco products had higher profits in 1976 than in 1973.

B. Per capita consumption of cigarettes in the LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> was lower in 1976 than in 1973.

C. The proportion of nonsmokers in the LACE w:st="on">United StatesLACE> population dropped slightly between 1973 and 1976.

D. United States manufacturers of tobacco products realize a lower profit on cigarettes than on chewing tobacco.

E. A large percentage of United States smokers switched from cigarettes to chewing tobacco between 1973 and 1976.

我的思路：在这段期间内，抽cigarette的人增加了3.4%(比平均增加人口少)chewing tobacco的人增加18%(比平均增加人口多)所以除了增加的人口里都chewing tobacco外，抽cigarette的人应该会有一些转移到chewing tobacco，才会造成 tobacco的人口增加这么多，不是吗??

这些嚼烟叶的人本身就有可能是从不抽烟而直接开始吃叶子的。

虽然抽cigarette的人应该会有一些转移到chewing tobacco，但是没有理由得出A large percentage 这样一个修饰词

所以e是不正确的

还有可能是吃叶子的人比以前更能吃了……哈哈
Ａ：profits无法推出
B：人均少了，相除得出
C：抽烟者比例变化不能推出
Ｄ：profits无法推出
E：无法推出
