The Eagle Creek City Council has noticed a steady increase in traffic accidents at the intersection of Maple Street and Oak Avenue over the past year. In an effort to reduce these accidents, the council implemented stricter traffic law enforcement and increased police patrols in the area. Despite these measures, the number of accidents has not decreased. Meanwhile, the neighboring Pine Valley successfully reduced traffic accidents at a similar intersection by installing additional traffic signals and implementing synchronized light timings. To enhance road safety, Eagle Creek’s city council proposes adopting Pine Valley’s strategy by installing more traffic signals and optimizing their synchronization at the Maple Street and Oak Avenue intersection.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the Eagle Creek City Council’s plan to install additional traffic signals and optimize their synchronization at the Maple Street and Oak Avenue intersection?
A. Residents of Eagle Creek have expressed satisfaction with the increased police patrols despite the unchanged accident rates.
B. Pine Valley’s intersection had a higher volume of traffic compared to Eagle Creek’s before implementing additional traffic signals.
C. Studies have shown that synchronized traffic signals significantly reduce waiting times for drivers without increasing the likelihood of accidents.
D. The cost of installing and maintaining additional traffic signals in Eagle Creek is projected to be higher than Pine Valley’s initial investment.
E. Some drivers in Eagle Creek are unaware of the new traffic laws enforced by the increased police patrols.

Breakdown of the Question Creation:
1. Develop a Clear Argument:
• Premise 1: Eagle Creek’s current method (stricter enforcement and increased patrols) hasn’t reduced accidents.
• Premise 2: Pine Valley successfully reduced accidents by installing additional traffic signals and synchronizing them.
• Conclusion: Eagle Creek should adopt Pine Valley’s strategy to reduce traffic accidents.
2. Determine What to Strengthen:
• The effectiveness of the proposed solution (installing and synchronizing traffic signals) in reducing accidents in Eagle Creek.
3. Create Answer Choices:
• Correct Choice (C): Provides evidence that synchronized traffic signals are effective, directly supporting the proposed plan.
• Other Choices:
• A: Shows resident satisfaction but doesn’t address the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
• B: Introduces a difference between the two cities but doesn’t directly support the effectiveness of the solution.
• D: Presents a potential financial drawback, which could weaken the plan.
• E: Highlights a gap in law enforcement awareness but doesn’t relate to the proposed solution.
