premise-1 New Jersey has one of the lowest motor vehicle fatality rates in the country
premise 2-it is one of the few states that require extensive annual automobile safety inspections
conclusion-all states should adopt similar safety inspection procedures.
we need to bridge the missing link here
that is safety inspection must have contributed to lowest motor vechicle fatality rate (supporter assumption)
that is what option (c) says
negate (C) Annual automobile safety inspections contribute insignificantly to holding down New Jersey's fatality rate
and the conclusion falls apart

conclusion says: Extensive automobile safety inspections is responsible for keeping vehicle fatality rates down in country
Pre thinking: Author assumes that extensive safety inspection is only responsible for keeping fatality rates down and no other reason contribute to it
a) out of scope-its talking about rule on drivers
b) irrelevant, same as in premise
c) it seems correct as it bridges the gap in prethinking, negating it will break the conclusion
d) out of scope, it talking about safety of drivers
e) out of scope
Correct OA: C
