The Kellow reservoir is drawn down each autumn not to make room for winter rain, as is usually supposed, but to expose the shoreline for repair. The repair crews can work only on ground that has been dry a fortnight. In the three autumns since the drawdown was brought forward to September, the shoreline has been dry that long in only one.

Which one of the following is most strongly supported by the statements above?

AThe Kellow drawdown does nothing to make room for the winter rain that follows it, whatever else the lower water may do for the shoreline.

BSince the drawdown was brought forward to September the crews have had fewer usable autumns than before, one in three being at any rate a poorer showing than the older arrangement.

CIn at least two of the three autumns since the change, the drawdown exposed no shoreline for the crews at all.

DWhatever repair was done in the one autumn the shoreline dried must have been left unfinished, a fortnight being too little to finish it.

EIn at least two of those three autumns the drawdown did not leave the shoreline in a state the repair crews could work on, whatever else the lower water achieved.
