hi,

I dont understand why E is wrong...it says the citys mayor requested so they invested in computermodeling technology right?
if the mayor was not a proponet they would not request it...I thought. any ideas?
Is it bc of the part *because of* ? so we dont know if its because of that reason mentioned in E...but could be other reasons?
thank you in advance.

Yeah, you're right on the money with this. We obviously know the mayor made the request, but why? At least from the stimulus, we can't infer anything as to why he made the request. And, of course, since this is an MBT, we're only concerned with what the stimulus gives us.
