In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians' financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.
但其实变长的只是医生做选择的时间，而非spend with patients的时间。
差异：医生觉得自己花在病人的时间上不够，但实际上病人在诊室呆的时间变长了。原因就是医生在开处方之前的时间变长了，所以总时长变长，但医生自己认为的花在病人上的时间并没有边长。
amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit，during an office visit这个点被忽略过去了
Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased在办公室的时间变长，但医生号称不能spending （enough） time with patients，并没有说相处时间变短，而是不够用。
E.隐含是说office visit时间变短，与原文信息相悖，且不能解释这个discrepancy
B.医生需要花费更多的时间考虑治疗手段，那么真正给病人看病的时间被缩短
很棒的解释，做题的时候也没有想到是相处时间不够用，看成了是相处时间不够。

C选项是一个正面性、向上性的解释，是讲医生们相互合作，共担晚上和周末的责任。但是这里的合作性并不能明确解释看病时间上的矛盾。
B选项说如今的医生在开处方前本可以有更好的选择，明确表明看病时间上的差异。
其余选项都是明显的无关选项。
