:no Official answer is B. D merely states the author's claim. Only B gives further statistics which reinforce the author's view

I chose B.

The author's present view - Fighting in football games is bad and needs to be solved. Anything that supports this problem, i.e makes it obvious that it is indeed a problem is the correct answer.

A) The British Government has just passed legislation outlawing alcoholic drink to be sold at or brought into soccer matches - So? There is no proof that alcohol is causing the fights, it could be pure adrenaline.
B) Last week there were 36 arrested and 50 injured in fighting among the top soccer matches. An increase of 25% over the figures for the previous week - Strengthens the authors point that this problem is getting out of hand.
C) The soccer clubs should do more to encourage families to attend their games by improving facilities and making special enclosures - How can this make it safer? Putting families in danger? Does not make sense
D) Violence is on the increase at soccer matches and the authorities must get tougher - Ok. We already know this. This does not strengthen the authors point of view.
E) Closed-circuit television has been set-up to monitor trouble-making elements in the crowd - Again, does not strengthen the present view of the author, if anything this weakens it because a camera might deter the fighting.
