Q31:

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?

LACE w:st="on">LACENAME w:st="on">DavisonLACENAME> LACETYPE w:st="on">RiverLACETYPE>LACE> farmers are currently deciding between planting winter wheat this fall or spring wheat next spring. Winter wheat and spring wheat are usually about equally profitable. Because of new government restrictions on the use of LACE w:st="on">LACENAME w:st="on">DavisonLACENAME> LACETYPE w:st="on">River water for irrigation, per acre yields for winter wheat, though not for spring wheat, would be much lower than average. Therefore, planting spring wheat will be more profitable than planting winter wheat, since‗‗‗‗‗‗.

1. the smaller-than-average size of a winter wheat harvest this year would not be compensated for by higher winter wheat prices

2. new crops of spring wheat must be planted earlier than the time at which standing crops of winter wheat are ready to be harvested

3. the spring wheat that farmers in the Davison River region plant is well adapted to the soil of the region

4. spring wheat has uses that are different from those of winter wheat

5. planting spring wheat is more profitable than planting certain other crops, such as rye

答案A，但不理解为什么，如果价钱高了为什么不比spring wheat更profitable？谢谢了？

In my opinion, A shows that the loss because of  lower winter wheat harvest can not be compensated for, although the prices of winter wheat is higher than that of spring wheat. That is to say, the proportion of demand decline is higher than that of price increase.
