In the past the country of Siduria has relied heavily on imported oil. Siduria recently implemented a program to convert heating systems from oil to natural gas. Siduria already produces more natural gas each year than it burns, and oil production in Sidurian oil fields is increasing at a steady pace. If these trends in fuel production and usage continue, therefore, Sidurian reliance on foreign sources for fuel should decline soon.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
In Siduria the rate of fuel consumption is rising no more quickly than the rate of fuel production.
Domestic production of natural gas is rising faster than is domestic production of oil in Siduria.
No fuel other than natural gas is expected to be used as a replacement for oil in Siduria.
Buildings cannot be heated by solar energy rather than by oil or natural gas.
All new homes that are being built will have natural-gas-burning heating systems.
这个国家把heating system从使用oil转成了使用gas,这而gas的供应每年都是能满足需求的,现在看起来,加上这部分从oil转过来的gas需求后,gas是否仍然是供应充足的;
而对于oil,由于oil需求的减少,而oil的产出又在不断增加,现在看起来,oil的供应也是充足的;
我们只需要选一个选项,保证其逻辑不出错即可,a选项是对的
