#18 (11th OG)

Opponents of laws that require automobile drivers and passengers to wear seat belts argue that in a free society people have the right to take risks as long as the people don't harm others as a result of taking the risks. As a result, they conclude that it should be each person's decision whether or not to wear a seat belt.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the conclusion drawn above?

A) Many new cars are built with seat belts that automatically fasten when someone sits in the front seat.

B) Automobile insurance rates for all automobile owners are higher because of the need to pay for the increased injuries or deaths of people not wearing seat belts.

C) Passengers in airplanes are required to wear seat belts during takeoffs and landings.

D) The rate of automobile fatalities in states that do not have mandatory seat-belt laws is greater than the rate of fatalities in states that do have such laws.

E) In automobile accidents, a greater number of passengers who do not wear seat belts are injured than are passengers who do wear seat belts.

Answer B

题干中说的内容是“don't harm others”是argument的条件，那要weaken的话，5个选项中明显B的选项内容harm了他人的利益（保险公司由于部分人的事故伤害增加而提高保费，这样系了安全带的无辜的人的利益就受到了伤害）
