4. Reviewing historical data, medical researchers in LACE w:st="on">CaliforniaLACE> found that counties with the largest number of television sets per capita have had the lowest incidence of a serious brain disease, mosquito-borne encephalitis. The researchers have concluded that people in these counties stay indoors more and thus avoid exposure to the disease.

The researchers’ conclusion would be most strengthened if which of the following were true?

(A) Programs designed to control the size of disease-bearing mosquito populations have not affected the incidence of mosquito borne encephalitis.

(B) The occupations of county residents affect their risk of exposure to mosquito-borne encephalitis more than does television-watching.

(C) The incidence of mosquito-borne encephalitis in counties with the largest number of television sets per capita is likely to decrease even further.

(D) The more time people in a county spend outdoors, the greater their awareness of the dangers of mosquito-borne encephalitis.（E）

(E) The more television sets there are per capita in a county, the more time the average county resident spends watching television.

我想问A. A错在哪里? 是不是在于affect不清楚? 不知道到底是不是控制了incidence? 如果是控制了,那么A就是对的? (排除它因的加强?)

指教

A goes nowhere.

because it doesn't say where is that program. is it distributed evenly in the world or in soem particularly areas? we don't know. Thus it's irrelevant.
