Answer

E. The post office is inefficient because a secret society of sadists wants us all to suffer. The simple fact that the post office is so frustrating proves that this secret society is real.

The closest analog to this is:

3. The fact that Charlie has never had a cold can only be explained if he's been secretly drinking wheatgrass juice every day for the last thirty years. He's never had a cold so he must have been drinking wheatgrass juice!

Logical Structure:

X explains Y
Y is true
X is true

Notice that each argument makes a claim of fact based on the idea that this "fact," if it was true would explain some other known fact.
