Puzzle editor: Our setters send in three times as many clues as we use, and our test-solvers time every clue we shortlist. Over two years, the clues our solvers took longest over are the clues at which players have given up. From next month we drop the fifth that took longest and use others in their place, so fewer grids will be left unfinished.

The editor's argument depends on assuming which one of the following?

AHow long our solvers spend on a clue is a reliable guide to which clues our players will spend longest on.

BNo clue at which a player has abandoned a grid was one our solvers got through quickly.

CA player gives up a grid because of how long the clue in front of them is taking, and not because of anything else about the clue itself at all.

DMost of the players who give up on a grid do so at a clue that held our solvers up longest as well.

EThe clues brought in to replace the longest will not make as many players give up a grid as the clues they replace have.
