45. Commissioner: Budget forecasters project a revenue shortfall of a billion dollars in the coming fiscal year. Since there is no feasible way to increase the available funds, our only choice is to decrease expenditures. The plan before you outlines feasible cuts that would yield savings of a billion dollars over the coming fiscal year. We will be able to solve the problem we face, therefore, only if we adopt this plan.

This reasoning in the commissioner’s argument is flawed because this argument

(A) relies on information that is far from certain

(B) confuses being an adequate solution with being a required solution

(C) inappropriately relies on the opinions of experts

(D) inappropriately employs language that is vague

(E) takes for granted that there is no way to increase available funds

这题我凭感觉做对了，但是还是不很明白什么是required sulotion 和adequate solution？

NN请赐教

only if show adequate solution, should be enough funds

if show required solution, should be cutback

Not nn..

My guess is the required solution is to increase the available funds, whereas the adequate solution is to cut corners so the fund raising is no longer needed. That's why the argument is flawed because it mixed the two and took the fund cutting as a solution for fund raising.
