Jeanine: Over the past year, local taxis in Stonevale gave 10,000 fewer rides than they did the year before. I believe this sharp drop is almost entirely attributable to the launch of Freedrive, the only ride-sharing service here that also sells unlimited monthly ride passes at a low price.
Dex: I doubt that’s the real reason for such a large decrease. You just said the decline was 10,000 rides, yet Freedrive only managed to sell 4,000 of those monthly passes.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of Dex’s objection to Jeanine’s explanation?
A Freedrive rented its fleet to more individual drivers than it sold passes.
B Two new taxi companies that do not offer any ride-sharing options entered Stonevale last year.
C Most taxi operators in Stonevale give special fare discounts during weekdays.
D Local commuters often test out new services after hearing positive recommendations from friends.
E Freedrive’s monthly passes allow unlimited shared rides, and many customers regularly bring extra riders along at no additional cost.

Dex's statement is clearly opposing Free drive as a key factor for the decline in numbers.
A & E are the only options that mention about Freedrive.
While Option A doesn't directly attack Dex's statement, option E does.
So it's option E

Jeanine claims that the 10,000-ride drop in taxi usage is mostly due to Freedrive, a ride-sharing service that offers unlimited monthly ride passes at a low cost. Dex disagrees, arguing that since only 4,000 of these passes were sold, they couldn’t possibly account for such a large decrease in taxi rides. To weaken Dex’s argument, we need to show how those 4,000 passes could still explain the 10,000-ride drop.
Option E does exactly that. It states that Freedrive’s monthly passes allow unlimited shared rides and that many customers regularly bring extra riders along at no additional cost. This means each pass could potentially cover rides for more than one person. If pass holders often brought friends or family with them, the number of taxi rides replaced by Freedrive would be much higher than the number of passes sold. Therefore, even 4,000 passes could realistically account for 10,000 fewer taxi rides, directly weakening Dex’s objection.
The other answer choices don’t address Dex’s main point. For example, renting to more drivers or new taxi companies entering the market don’t explain the drop in rides. Discounts from taxis or word-of-mouth promotion of Freedrive don’t deal with the numbers issue either. Only option E directly challenges Dex’s logic by showing how the passes could have a greater impact than he assumed.
