请看这道题目怎样选

Studies of fatal automobile accidents reveal that, in the majority of cases in which one occupant of an automobile is killed while another survives, it is the passenger, not the driver, who is killed. It is ironic that the innocent passenger should suffer for the driver’s carelessness, while the driver often suffers only minor injuries or none at all.

Which of the following is an assumption underlying the reasoning in the passage above?

(A) In most fatal automobile accidents, the driver of a car in which an occupant is killed is at fault.

(B) Drivers of automobiles are rarely killed in auto accidents.

(C) Most deaths in fatal automobile accidents are suffered by occupants of cars rather than by pedestrians.

(D) Auto safety experts should increase their efforts to provide protection for those in the passenger seats of automobiles.

(E) Automobile passengers sometimes play a contributing role in causing auto accidents.

请大家帮忙讲下这个题目阿,答案是A。对这种类型的题目一直不知如何下手,恳请讲解。

I just began my preparation for GMAT several days ago. I am suffering from CR. After seeing the answer A ,i think the explanation maybe like this as follows:

   the argument reveals that the passenger is innocent ,the death of the passenger results from the driver ,who only suffers the minor injure. so we can see that it shows much sympathy for the passenger and hold  the idea that the driver should be to blame from the word" ironic" ,which maybe the key word .SO the hidden assumption is that the driver is at fault ,however it is the passenger who loses his life. so ,choice A is the correct one .chioce B is irrelevant to the argument. chioce C address the pedestrian,which is irrelevant. chioce D ,"the experts" is irrelevant. chioce E is opposite to A ,so it is the incorrect one.

     This is my own opinion,which maybe false.

这道题主要就是要理解occupant的意思是“乘员”。
大概意思就是严重的交通事故中,大部分事故都是一名乘客死亡,而幸存的是死机。这个非常的讽刺,无辜的乘客以死亡承担了司机的过失,而司机却只是受轻伤而已。
A 司机在事故中是有过失的。如果司机没有过失,就不存在讽刺了。
不知道对不对,只是本人理解。
