再问道可恶的CR题

In the two years following the unification of Germany in 1989, the number of cars owned by residents of East Germany and the total distance traveled by cars in East Germany both increased by about 40 percent.  In those two years, however, the number of East German residents killed each year as car occupants in traffic accidents increased by about 300 percent.

 

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disproportionate increase in traffic fatalities?

 

(A) The average number of passengers per car was higher in the years before unification than it was in the two years after.

(B) After unification, many people who had been living in East Germany relocated to West Germany.

(C) After unification, a smaller proportion of the cars being purchased by East German residents were used vehicles.

(D) Drivers who had driven little or not at all before 1989 accounted for much of the increase in the total distance traveled by cars.

(E) Over the same two-year period in East Germany, other road users, such as motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, experienced only small increases in traffic fatalities.

觉得A，D都对，但是答案是D，如何判断A错误呢？

感觉A说的是 average number of passengers per car 的高低问题。

和原文的the number of cars owned by residents of East Germany and the total distance traveled by cars ，the number of East German residents killed each year 的增长问题无关。所以应该能够排除吧。

但是原文说the number of East German residents killed each year 的增长问题，我可以说是因为average number of passengers per car 的人数争加了，导致在事故中的死亡人数上升了啊。

还是不明白啊~~~

(A) The average number of passengers per car was higher in the years before unification than it was in the two years after.

再仔细读一下选项,我觉得这个不能解释文中的问题.

范围上存在着问题.

如果说average number of passenger 增加了导致死亡人数增加还有可能, 但是这里说得是before unification, 刚好是相反的...

明白了，还是一个BEFORE的问题，谢谢指点~~~
