In Australia the population that is of driving age has grown [#permalink]

Question Stats:
0% (00:00) correct
100% (00:23) wrong based on 0 sessions
In Australia the population that is of driving age has grown large over the last five years, but the annual number of traffic fatalities has declined. This leads to the conclusion that, overall, the driving-age population of Australia consists of more skillful drivers now than five years ago.
Each of the statements below, if true, weakens the argument EXCEPT:
(A) Three years ago, a mandatory seat-belt law went into effect throughout Australia.
(B) Five years ago, Australia began a major road repair project.
(C) Because of increases in the price of fuel, Australians on average drive less each year than in the preceding year.
(D) The number of hospital emergency facilities in Australia has doubled in the last five years.
(E) In response to an increase in traffic fatalities, Australia instituted a program of mandatory driver education five years ago.

Is it E?
It only seems to kind of strengthen the argument.

Educated drivers mean more skillful drivers.
So (E) coincide with the argument.

More driver`s ed training = better skilled drivers. E does not weaken the argument.

If (D) is true, the decrease in traffic fatalities are thanks to the increased number of emergency hospitals, not thanks to the skill-up of young drivers.
