The question stem requires us to choose an option whose validity both M & L disagree with. Both M & L disagree on whether or not manufacture of big size cars must be discouraged or not. M disagrees whereas L agrees. Hence option A.

Can anyone explain the question stem clearly because from what I understood the the question stem states that:
"Both of them will disagree upon the truth of which statement"

McBride: The proposed new fuel efficiency standards, if implemented, will discourage the manufacture of full-size cars. This prospect is troubling because when a subcompact and a full-size car collide, the people in the subcompact are more likely to be seriously injured than if theirs had also been a full-size car. The new fuel efficiency standards should therefore be opposed.

Leggett: But whenever any two cars collide, it is more likely that someone will be seriously injured if one of the cars is a full-size car than if neither of the cars is full-size. Thus, the new fuel efficiency standard should be supported precisely because they discourage the manufacture of full-size cars.

McBride’s and Leggett’s statements commit them to disagreeing about the truth of which one of the following?

a.The manufacture of full-size cars should be discouraged.

b. Fuel conservation is less important than safety in the event of a collision.

c. When a full-size car and a subcompact car collide, the occupants of the full-size car are less likely than the occupants of the subcompact car to the seriously injured.


d. Reducing the number of full-size cars on the highway will reduce the frequency of collisions between automobiles.

e. The new fuel-efficiency standards will encourage automobile manufacturers to build more subcompact cars.

OA Soon. With Ans, please mention the type of question (for e.g. assumption, strengthen etc.)

The answer should be A.

Mac thinks by implementing the policy, there will be more subcompact car on the road, making the drivers of these subcompact cars more prone to srs injuries in accidents involving both a subcompact and a full-size car. Therefore, to prevent drivers from higher probability of srs injuries in accidents there need not to be more subcompact cars on the road. ---> Discourage manufacturers from making subcompact cars/or encourage them to produce full-size cars.

Leggett says, well when compare to accidents involving full-size cars to those do not involve any full-size cars. The former more often than not cause the parties involved more srs injuries. So to prevent causing srs injuries to drivers, we should replace as many full-size cars with other types of cars as possible. --> encourage production of other type of cars/or discourage full-size productions
