Option D the tendency of people to physically....
This statement explains the statistical effect as people groping on their precious things leads to the pickpocketers noticing it more and eventually increasing the crimes
Why others are not the sol
A) Even if 40% cannot read the rest of 60% were able to read the posters and still the crime increased , this statement is vague
B) This statement is not related with the conclusion and irrelevant to the statement
C) this statement actually contradicts with the statement because if police is patrolling the airport then the crimes should be reduced
E) this statement contradicts with the results as if the precious things were being hidden then there should be lesser crimes reported

ISSUES: # of thefts increasing in K's main airport
ACTIONS: K's airports posted several large, brightly colored notices in airport
RESULT: # of pickpocketing thefts at main airport GREW at an even FASTER RATE than before the notices were posted.
Assumption/Missing link
- Why is the result not expected?
- Meaning the large, brightly-colored notices -> instead support the practice of theft
- So, the # of thefts is increasing
-
Best explanation --> look for activity that instead supports the practice of theft.
D. The tendency of people to look for their valuable belongings when they perceive a threat
--> meaning, it is easier for pickpockets to know which people and which part of their belongings are more valuable to pick.
So, the answer is D.
Others might incorrect
A. It does not address the increasing number of thefts
B. Becoming the world's luxury shopping destination is not relevant to the increasing number of thefts
C. It should lower the theft number
E. It should lower the theft number

Paradox: Even after several brightly colored noticed posted in prominent areas the pickpocketing thefts has been increased faster than before.
A) This feels irrelavant, if 40 percent people can't read still 60 percent are there. Eliminate.
B) Feels out of context. talking about removing taxes to attract more people to shop from this airport. Doesn't talk about the issue. ELiminate.
C) This actually says the opposite. if police are more active then this would actually reduce or decrease the rate of pickpocketing. Eliminate.
D) This seems to explain why theres and increase. if people are checking their belonging immediately after checking notice, then pickpocketers get to know their exact target and make it easy to pick pocket. Keep it.
E) If people are keeping their valuables to more secure place then, the rate should decrease. Eliminate.
