Traveler: Southern Airways has a far worse safety record than Air Dacentaria over the past few years, in terms of both the frequency of accidents and the severity of accidents. Therefore, although Air Dacentaria is slightly more expensive, I will choose it over Southern Airways for my flight from Pederton to Dacenta, since it is worth paying extra to have a safer flight.

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the traveler's argument?

正确答案: B

Which of the following, if true, casts the most serious doubt on the traveler's argument?



(A) Air Dacentaria's flight from Pederton to Dacenta is nonstop, whereas Southern Airways' flight touches down in Gorinda on the way.

(B) Most Southern Airways flights, but not its flight from Pederton to Dacenta, use Sarmouth airport, which because of its mountainous location is one of the world's most dangerous.

(C) For its flights from Pederton to Dacenta, Southern Airways uses a different model of airplane, with a smaller capacity, than the model Air Dacentaria uses for its flights on the same route.

(D) Only in the last few years has the cost of flying from Pederton to Dacenta been more expensive on Air Dacentaria than on Southern Airways.

(E) Although the frequency of accidents is greater on Southern Airways, on both airlines the proportion of flights that have accidents is very small.
E中的on both airlines指的是什么?不是指Pederton to Dacenta的双程线路吗?如果是的话,不是正好也起到了削弱的作用吗?

b是对的



这题我最开始也是选E不过仔细想还是B对
因为作者已经说过 Southern Airways has a far worse safety record  in terms of frequency of accidents and the severity of accidents.
E说的proportion和他的前提无关。所以不会对结论直接造成weaken. on both airline 是指Southern Airways and  Air Dacentaria

I think E is supportive,not weaken the argument

E是支持,不是削弱。propotion是相对比例,不是绝对数值。好多题都用这个比率来迷惑人,我也上过几次当了。旧prep 1的63,DE选项也是这个问题。
