A think-tank in Michigan has announced a controversial new finding. It concludes that efforts to combat high emissions from cars by taxing gasoline and SUVs are misplaced; rather, governments should be providing consumers with tax incentives to purchase large cars and carpooling with their neighbors to work. They estimate that such a plan would reduce national gas emissions by 23% over the next decade.
Which of the following, if true, casts the greatest doubt on the likely effectiveness of this recommendation?
A. The number of cars on the nation's major highways has increased steadily in all major urban centres.
B. SUVs will be considered "large cars" and will therefore be eligible for the tax reduction.
C. Only 11% of people who live within one mile of each other work in the same neighborhood.
D. Gas prices are projected to reach a thirty-year high over the next twelve months.
E. Car emissions account for fully one-third of all emissions nation-wide.

A.The number of cars on the nation's major highways has increased steadily in all major urban centres. - irrelevent
B. SUVs will be considered "large cars" and will therefore be eligible for the tax reduction. - out of scope
C. Only 11% of people who live within one mile of each other work in the same neighborhood. - weaken the argument by saying that only 11% will use the car pool to go to their work.So majority of them will not use carpool , this weakens the argument .
D. Gas prices are projected to reach a thirty-year high over the next twelve months. - irrelevent
E. Car emissions account for fully one-third of all emissions nation-wide. - irrelevent
