28-17: In the nation of Partoria, large trucks currently account for 6 percent of miles driven on Partoria’s roads but are involved in 12 percent of all highway fatalities. The very largest trucks – those with three trailers – had less than a third of the accident rate of single- and double-trailer trucks. Clearly, therefore, one way for Partoria to reduce highway deaths would be to require shippers to increase their use of triple-trailer trucks.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A: Partorian trucking companies have so far used triple-trailer trucks on lightly traveled sections of major highways only.
B: No matter what changes Partoria makes in the regulation of trucking, it will have to keep some smaller roads off-limits to all large trucks.
C: Very few fatal collisions involving trucks in Partoria are collisions between two trucks.
D: In Partoria, the safety record of the trucking industry as a whole has improved slightly over the past ten years.
E: In Partoria, the maximum legal payload of a triple-trailer truck is less than three times the maximum legal payload of the largest of the single-trailer trucks

很多兄弟选了A,但是我看不出A说了另外的证据来削弱结论/
而俺选E,原因是E说三层的卡车本身装的东西少3倍,(与题目的事故率少1/3对应),这样就是说3层的卡车出事故少可能因为这个。如果按照结论的建议,大卡车换成3层的,那么3层就自然不能装原来大卡车的那么多东西,那就不能换,削弱了呀。,。。。。
