In the nation of Partoria, large trucks currently account for 6 percent of miles driven on Partoria's roads but are involved in 12 percent of all highway fatalities. The very largest trucks—those with three trailers—had less than a third of the accident rate of single- and double-trailer trucks. Clearly, therefore, one way for Partoria to reduce highway deaths would be to require shippers to increase their use of triple-trailer trucks.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

In the nation of Partoria, large trucks currently account for 6 percent of miles driven on Partoria’s roads but are involved in 12 percent of all highway fatalities.  The very largest trucks—those with three trailers—had less than a third of the accident rate of single- and double-trailer trucks.  Clearly, therefore, one way for Partoria to reduce highway deaths would be to require shippers to increase their use of triple-trailer trucks.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A. No matter what changes Partoria makes in the regulation of trucking, it will have to keep some smaller roads off-limits to all large trucks.
B. So far only the best, most experienced drivers for Partorian trucking companies have been driving triple-trailer trucks.
C. Very few fatal collisions involving trucks in Partoria are collisions between two trucks.
D. In Partoria, the safety record of the trucking industry as a whole has improved slightly over the past ten years.
E. In Partoria, the maximum legal payload of a triple-trailer truck is less than three times the maximum legal payload of the largest of the single-trailer trucks.
正确答案是b选项,但是我觉得既然所有技术好的司机都去开triple-trailer了,那不就支持了要把double换成triple的观点了吗?觉得c选项挺对的,因为结论的目的是为了减少死亡人数,double的致命事故少不就是说不用换么?忘高人指点!

C) is off the topic. What about accidents between a truck and a non-truck? More or less fatalities? We do not know.

B) on the other hand, points out that the reason behind the excellent safety records of three-trailers is not the trucks themselves, but the drivers behind the wheels. If so, simply switching trucks would not reduce the highway deaths because the same pool of drivers are involved.

two trucks does not equal double-trailer truck. It means TWO trucks (single-, double-, or tripple-trailers)!
