Steven: The allowable blood alcohol level for drivers should be cut in half. With this reduced limit, social drinkers will be deterred from drinking and driving, resulting in significantly increased highway safety.

Miguel: No lowering the current allowable blood alcohol level would have little effect on highway safety because it would not address the most important aspect of the drunken driving problem, which is the danger to the public posed by heavy drinkers, who often drive with a blood alcohol level of twice the current legal limit.

Steven and Migue's statements provide the most support for that they would disagree about the truth of which one of the following statements?

(A) Social drinkers who drink and drive pose a substantial threat to the public.
(B) There is a direct correlation between a driver‘s blood alcohol level and the drive's ability to drive safely.
(C) A driver with a blood alcohol level above the current legal limit poses a substantial danger to the public.
(D) Some drivers whose blood alcohol level is lower than the current legal limit pose a danger to the public.
(E) A driver with a blood alcohol level slightly greater than half the current legal limit poses no danger to the public.

OA: A.
Attention should be paid to "social drinkers" and "heavy drinkers"

The statements provide the most support for holding that Steven and Miguel would disagree about which of the following?
Why can't we say that Steven would agree with answer choice (A)?
He thinks that getting the social drinkers off the road will make a big difference in highway safety (ie; social drinkers pose a substantial threat). And Miguel seems to disagree with this. He says that cutting the legal limit in half - getting the social drinkers off the road - will have little impact on highway safety (ie; social drinkers do not pose a substantial threat).
