GWD-9-Q24:
For similar cars and drivers, automobile insurance for collision damage has always cost more in Greatport than in Fairmont. Police studies, however, show that cars owned by Greatport residents are, on average, slightly less likely to be involved in a collision than cars in Fairmont. Clearly, therefore, insurance companies are making a greater profit on collision-damage insurance in Greatport than in Fairmont.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
A.    Repairing typical collision damage does not cost more in Greatport than in Fairmont.
B.    There are no more motorists in Greatport than in Fairmont.
C.    Greatport residents who have been in a collision are more likely to report it to their insurance company than Fairmont residents are.
D.    Fairmont and Greatport are the cities with the highest collision-damage insurance rates.
E.    The insurance companies were already aware of the difference in the likelihood of collisions before the publication of the police reports.
为什么选B不行呢？A是答案。虽然可能性小了，但总人数多还是有可能collision多的嘛

对B取非对原文没有影响。
原文：G车险贵，而且事故发生率小。结论：保险公司可赚大了

有个gap就是保险理赔到底是多少？如果保险理赔在G贵得出奇，那出一次事故可能就会使保险公司支付巨额保费。因此A补充了这个gap，修理费在G不会比在F贵，取非对原谅结论会有影响。
