Hi @naieka99,

Thanks for the question! Actually, (A) isn’t the correct answer for this one, since there’s nothing that supports the idea of the inefficiencies being aggravated in recent years by increased demands on relief agencies’ limited resources. In fact, nothing even supports the idea of limited resources or increased demands.

The correct answer choice for this one should be (E). The support for this can be found in the first and second paragraphs. There were definitely some wasteful relief efforts (see line 8), and the second paragraph talks about how outside donors and agencies with little accountability to populations affected by disasters don’t really get what’s going on and don’t adapt to specific situations. So (E) is supported by the passage and should be the correct answer choice for this one.

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
