People often do not make decisions by using the basic economic principle of rationally weighting all possibilities and then making the choice that can be expected to maximize benefits and minimize harm. Routinely, people process information in ways that are irrational in this sense.

Any of the following, if true, would provide evidence in support of the assertions above EXCEPT

D. People avoid situations in which they could become involved in accidents involving large numbers of people more than they do situations where single-victim accidents are possible, even though they realize that an accident is more likely in the latter situations than in the former

E. People usually give more weight to a physician's opinion about the best treatment for a disease than they do to the opinion of a neighbor if they realize that the neighbor is not an expert in disease treatment

答案是E，我觉得D描述的决定更理性啊，想不明白为什么E比D好，请大家帮帮我！非常感谢！！！

题目问的是EXCEP呀

你觉得D更能支持论点，那么就选E吧

hehe,我也跟lz一样了：）结论是people process information in ways that are irrational in this sense
E说的是people  process information in a rational way 正好except了结论

可是，原文的论点是大家不能理性的做出判断，D说的情况是理性判断，所以不支持，所以我选了D的^_^
