Q11

In 1992 outlaw fishing boats began illegally harvesting lobsters from the territorial waters of the countru of Belukia. Soom after, the annual tonnage of lobster legally garvested inBelukian waters began declining; in 1996, despite there being no reduction in the level of legal lobster fishing activity, the local catch was 9000tons below pre-1992levels. It is therefore highly likely that the outlaw fishing boats harvested about 9000 tons of lobster illegally that year.

which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

A. The illegal lobster harvesting was not so extensive that the population of catchable lobsters inBelukia's territorial waters had sharply declined by 1996.

B. The average annual lobster catch, in tons of an oulaw fishing boat has increased steadily since 1992.

C. Outlaw fishing boats do not, as a group, harvest more lobsters than do licensed lobster-fishing boats.

D. The annual legal lobster harvest in Belukia in 1996 was not significantly less than 9000 tons.

E. A signigicant proportion of Belukia's operators of licensed lobster-fishing boats went out of business between 1992 and 1996.
