Plantings of cotton bioengineered to produce its own insecticide against bollworms, a major cause of crop failure, sustained little bollworm damage until this year. This year the plantings are being seriously damaged by bollworms. Bollworms, however, are not necessarily developing resistance to the cotton's insecticide. Bollworms breed on corn, and last year more corn than usual was planted throughout cotton-growing regions. So it is likely that the cotton is simply being overwhelmed by corn-bred bollworms.
In evaluating the argument, which of the following would it be most useful to establish?
Whether corn could be bioengineered to produce the insecticide
Whether plantings of cotton that does not produce the insecticide are suffering unusually extensive damage from bollworms this year
Whether other crops that have been bioengineered to produce their own insecticide successfully resist the pests against which the insecticide was to protect them
Whether plantings of bioengineered cotton are frequently damaged by insect pests other than bollworms
Whether there are insecticides that can be used against bollworms that have developed resistance to the insecticide produced by the bioengineered cotton
虽然我知道这是果因推理，
果：抗虫性的cotton今年大幅decrease
因：不是因虫开始具有抗药性 而是corn-bred的虫多了。
evaluate方向是：对因取非，看果存在否——没有抗虫性的cotton今年有无decrease . ...
但是答案也太超出常理了吧. 有抗药的cotton都损失惨重，更何况没有抗药性的cotton呢？
