Eliminate B and D because it comments on the quantity of food.
Eliminate E because it does not guarantee that water shortage will be avoided. What if the others reject their offer.
Eliminate C because even if they pack more water for themselves, the others might pack very less, resulting in an overall shortage.
A remains and is the correct answer.
If larger than required qty is mentioned, then the others, even though they pack less, would end up packing close to what is required and J and L, would end up packing more than what is required. So, overall required there would be no shortage of water.

Question Type: Complete the Passage
Boil It Down: A group of 7 friends are planning for a camping trip, with different people responsible for the packing list (Jessie & Libby) and packing up the car (Andrew & Nick). Some people bring more food and water than they need, and some don’t bring enough. There is obviously a concern that the entire group might end up short on water.
Goal: Determine what Jessie and Libby should do to prevent the group from running out of water on their camping trip.
Analysis:
A group of friends are planning a camping trip, with different people tackling different tasks:
Jessie & Libby = oversee the packing list
Andrew & Nick = oversee packing the car
Will, Peter, & Ellie = not overseeing anything
There are also different philosophies between the friends as to how much food and water they pack:
Andrew, Will, Peter, & Nick = pack less water than needed
Jessie & Libby = pack more food and water than needed
Ellie = we’re not sure what Ellie is even doing on this trip
Since we know Jessie and Libby are known for packing more water than they need, but the rest of the group doesn’t pack enough, we need to figure out what they can do to prevent everyone from running out of water:
A. Put a larger quantity of water on the packing list than is necessary.
A is correct because, if they want to avoid a shortage of water on the camping trip, Jessie and Libby should compensate for Andrew, Will, Peter, and Nick’s tendency to underpack by suggesting a higher amount of water for the trip.
B. Put a larger quantity of food on the packing list than is necessary.
B is incorrect because they aren’t worried about a shortage of food.
C. Pack more water for themselves than is necessary.
C is incorrect because they already pack enough water for themselves and do not need to compensate for the others in their individual packing lists; to avoid a shortage, they should try to prevent a shortage on the front end.
D. Pack more food for themselves than is necessary.
D is incorrect because they aren’t worried about a shortage of food.
E. Offer to oversee packing the car.
E is incorrect because this wouldn’t necessarily help to prevent a shortage of water on the camping trip.
