Captioning manager: Our auditor draws one delivered file in twenty and counts, against the recording, every line that differs from what was said. The rate she finds has risen by a third since we began having each file read a second time, from the recording, before it goes out. The second reading is done by the same captioners in turn, and pay, deadlines and experience are what they were.

Which one of the following, if true, most helps to explain the discrepancy described above?

AThe number of files the unit delivers each month has grown by a third since the second reading began.

BThe auditor's count of differing lines had already climbed by nearly a third in the year before the second reading began, and it climbed again in the year after that.

CThe second reading takes false starts and repeated words out of lines the files already had right, and the auditor counts each such line among those that differ.

DThe files the auditor counts come from what the unit delivers before noon, and have come from there since long before the second reading.

EViewers' complaints about what the unit delivers have fallen by a third since the second reading began, and none names a line that differs.
