Hi. Thank you for pointing it out and you are right - answer choice B) provides a logical inconsistency because it is missing a word. It should have said "could achieve" instead of just achieve.

I will provide Kudos to those who picked D as the answer choice and add points.

Same thing here. I've discarded that option because of this apparently inconsistency

A large retailer operates a limited fleet of same-day-delivery trucks. For years, each neighborhood delivery hub has been assigned the same number of trucks, regardless of the daily order volume in that neighborhood. To shorten overall delivery times, senior management now plans to let neighborhood hubs trade truck assignments freely. Management argues that trading will move more trucks to the neighborhoods that rely on them most intensively, thereby reducing average delivery time across the company.

To evaluate whether the company’s plan is likely to achieve its intended result, it would be most helpful to know which of the following?

(A) Whether neighborhood hubs facing tighter shipping deadlines currently use their trucks more frequently than other neighborhoods

(B) Whether neighborhood hubs currently using trucks more intensively achieve shorter delivery times due to having more trucks

(C) Whether using the company’s own trucks reduces delivery time more effectively than outsourcing to third-party carriers

(D) Whether certain neighborhood hubs currently have idle trucks at any point during the day

(E) Whether neighborhood hubs will be required to record truck-trading activity in a central scheduling system

The premise suggests that
"For years, each neighborhood delivery hub has been assigned the same number of trucks, regardless of the daily order volume in that neighborhood."

In Option B, I'm directly contradicting the premise by saying
Whether neighborhood hubs currently using trucks more intensively achieve shorter delivery times due to having more trucks

This was the only reason I couldn't come to choose this one. Had the word "currently" not been there I would have been happy to choose it.

Thoughts are welcome.
