The early warning allows a ship\u2019s captain to attempt an abrupt course change to avert a possible collision. Even though cargo ships and passenger liners need a considerable distance to maneuver and that most warnings are false, such an early warning system undoubtedly better protects cargo and passengers. Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?<\/p>\n<p>A. The system can detect not only the physical presence of a ship by radar but it can also detect a ship's heat signature by infrared.<\/p>\n<p>B. A maritime safety commission report determined that over 82% of the system\u2019s warnings were false.<\/p>\n<p>C. Ship collisions in the major oceanic shipping lanes are extremely rare.<\/p>\n<p>D. The risk of a cargo ship or passenger liner being involved in a collision is substantially greater at port than at sea.<\/p>\n<p>E. Abrupt course changes do not involve risk to a ship\u2019s cargo or passengers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/ragct-2015-day-1-a-system-that-combines-radar-and-infrared-201690.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong> <span style=\"background-color: #fff; color: #fff;\">- E\u00a0-<\/span> (click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong> Get the GMAT Club question collection: <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/tests\/\">online at GMAT Club<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fentity%2FGMAT-Club%2FB0048PPF3U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Dntt_athr_dp_pel_1&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957\">on your Kindle<\/a> OR <a href=\"https:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=PJTlq5NYqfE&amp;offerid=146261&amp;type=3&amp;subid=blog&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fgmat-toolkit%252Fid328345537%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D6%2526partnerId%253D30\">on your iPhone\/iPad<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/blog\/category\/blog\/gmat-tests\/\"><strong>Browse all GMAT Questions of the Day<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to GMAT Question of the Day:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/feedburner.google.com\/fb\/a\/mailverify?uri=GMAT-Question-of-the-day&amp;loc=en_US\">E-mail<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/GMAT-Question-of-the-day\">RSS<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Math Comet A is seen near the Earth every 12 years while Comet B every 20 years.
