Question 1:
Refer the following and answer the question that follows:If highways were restricted to cars and only those trucks with capacity of less than 8 tons, most of the truck traffic would be forced to run outside highways. Such a reduction in the amount of truck traffic would reduce the risk of collisions on highways.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn in the second sentence?
A. Highways are experiencing overcrowded traffic mainly because of sharp increases in car traffic
B. Many drivers of trucks would rather buy trucks with a capacity of less than 8 tons than be excluded from highways.
C. The number of collisions that occur near highways has reduced in recent years
D. Trucks that have a capacity of more than 8 tons cause a disproportionately large number of collisions on highways
Feedback The second sentence concludes that the reduction described in the first sentence would reduce the risk of collisions in highways. According to 4, such a reduction would remove precisely the kind of truck that causes a disproportionate number of collisions. Thus 4 is the best answer
