    Sir, please help me to understand the reason for the following answer. It is supposed to be right: More attention to R&D costs in year 20XX could reduce warranty costs in subsequent years.
    Why is it necessary for more R&D to reduce warranty costs? In my understanding, R&D might reduce but might also NOT to reduce warranty costs in future…
    or we should just think in a way that if it is possible that it COULD reduce then the statement is right.
    I am just worring about how the quiestion is arranged.

    Writing that is ‘could’ reduce warranty costs is not saying that it definitely will!

    ‘Could’ means the same as ‘might’ 🙂
