10.   In 1960, 10 percent of every dollar paid in automobile insurance premiums(went to pay costs arising from injuries incurred in car accidents. In 1990, 50 percent of every dollar paid in automobile insurance premiums went toward such costs, despite the fact that cars were much safer in 1990 than in 1960.

Which of the following, if true, best explains the discrepancy outlined above?

(A) There were fewer accidents in 1990 than in 1960.

(B) On average, people drove more slowly in 1990 than in 1960.

(C) Cars grew increasingly more expensive to repair over the period in question.

(D) The price of insurance increased more rapidly than the rate of inflation between 1960 and 1990.（E）

(E) Health-care costs rose sharply between 1960 and 1990.

答案是E，偶笨笨的问，automobile insurance premiums是说给汽车买保险，还是给人买保险？

可是为什么C不对呢?文章只说了保险公司的成本增加,这个成本应该包括修车的成本和人上医院看病的成本啊!C和E分别说明了这两个情况.文章虽然说despite the fact that cars were much safer in 1990 than in 1960,但也不意味着修车会更便宜啊!

这题偶看见C就直接选了,根本没看E,真郁闷!!

不知道MM注意到这句话了没,automobile insurance premiums(went to pay costs arising from injuries )

所以C属于无关信息
