1) No Belts Association claims that it is sole responsibility of each driver to use or not use seat-belts. The Association's goal is to change legislature to enable drivers drive without having to use a seat-belt. The first step is to allow some drivers drive without a fastened seat-belt. As the research indicates, most mothers usually drive within 20 miles from home - to supermarkets, schools and churches. Taking care of the seat-belts oftentimes makes mothers nervous, as they are often running late. Therefore, they claim, mothers driving within 20 miles from home should be allowed to drive without fastening their seat-belt.
Which of the following, if true, should enable mothers drive without their seat-belts on?
a. It is important that mothers driving on errands close to home stay as calm as possible, to drive safer. They are usually nervous, as they oftentimes run late, so they should be allowed not to use their seat-belts, but their passengers, especially children, must nonetheless wear seat-belts.
b. Mothers driving within 20 mile range from home usually drive no faster than 15 miles per hour and are statistically more cautious in their driving than business people.
c. Driving without seat-belts on is dangerous on high speeds. Mothers oftentimes drive slow enough not to injure themselves in case of an accident.
d. Statistically, 80% of all car accidents happen within 20 mile range from home.
e. 75% of all driving that mothers do is within 5 miles from home and only 3% is farther than 20 miles. Therefore, mothers do not use highways which are the most dangerous place for driving without wearing seat-belts.

The official answer here is E. One important clue to get from the passage here is that No Belts Association is looking for a category of people whom to free from having to use seat belts with the purpose of changing the legislature (in the future) to allow all drivers judge on whether they need to wear their seat belts or not. The reader must pick a statement that puts mothers into the safest possible category.
a. This one is tricky, as it mentions other passengers besides mother drivers. Nevertheless, although wearing seat belts makes mothers nervous, there are multiple other reasons for being nervous. To stay on the safe side and not get nervous about seat belts, get used to wearing them at all times - is the main reason why this explanation can be rejected as the main reason for allowing mothers not use seat belts.
b. This explanation provides no data to help ensure that mothers are safe without wearing seat belts. First of all, we do not know how many accidents happen at speeds up to 15 MPH and how many accidents happen above speeds of 15 MPH. Second of all, even though mothers are more cautious, we do not know who gets into accidents more often - business people or mothers.
c. This statement puts all mothers in a safer position, compared to other drivers, as mothers usually drive 'slow enough', but does not help in creating the 'safe without seat belt' group. What about those mothers who do like to accelerate? If there was more data here to prove that mothers never drive as fast as to injure themselves or their passengers, for example, this statement would be more likely a good explanation of why mothers should be let to drive without their seat belts on.
d. Weakens the argument.
e. This statement indicates that mothers do not use highways, which are the most dangerous place on the road and provides some more data to strengthen the argument in the question stem.
