In the past, most children who went sledding in the winter snow in Verland used wooden sleds with runners and steering bars. Ten years ago, smooth plastic sleds became popular; they go faster than wooden sleds but are harder to steer and slow. The concern that plastic sleds are more dangerous is clearly borne out by the fact that the number of children injured while sledding was much higher last winter than it was ten years ago.
Which of the following, if true in Verland, most seriously undermines the force of the evidence cited?

Ten years ago, smooth plastic sleds became popular; they go faster than wooden sleds but are harder to steer and slow.

1. Being asked "Which of the following, if true in Verland, most seriously undermines the force of the evidence cited?" And you are still assuming that "是由于受伤的人多,原因就是塑料鞋。" 抱着预设结论,只能选出相反答案。 ps.sled是雪橇。
It is critical reasoning being tested here, not summarization. I can see no reason why “C答案中包括了题干中的所有元素” indicates correctness.
