Some airlines allegedly reduce fares on certain routes to a level at [#permalink]
Option Elimination -
The scope of the argument is defined by an impact on the conclusion. In this case, the new information will weaken the conclusion.

(B) Airline executives generally believe that a company that once underpriced its fares to drive away competitors is very likely to do so again if new competitors emerge. - This looks like a good strategy to shun the competition.

(E) When airlines dramatically reduce their fares on a particular route, the total number of air passengers on that route increases greatly. - The argument says that when they dramatically reduce prices, they lose money. So even if the number of passengers increases drastically, they'll still make losses. Now if they increase prices, the very customers who got attracted to dramatically lower prices, will they still fly with this airline or switch to a competition whose prices may be lower? Yes, there is a high probability that that'll switch. At best, this is a strengthener (as the losses will increase more, and the moment they increase prices, the high probability they will shift to airlines with cheaper airfares)- the opposite of what we are looking for.
