What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Since City X reduced the frequency with which its service vehicles pick up recyclable materials from residences for transport to its recycling center, the volume of material that its service vehicles transport to landfills for permanent disposal has increased to unmanageable levels. However, the city cannot increase the frequency of either its trash pickup or its recycling pickup at city residences.
Based only the information above, which of the following strategies seems most appropriate for City X in the interest of reducing the volume of material that the city’s service vehicles transport to landfills?
(A) Provide larger recycling containers to the residents of the city
(B) Establish a community program to increase awareness of the benefits of recycling
(C) Establish additional recycling centers as near as possible to the city’s residential areas
(D) Provide incentives to the city’s residents to reuse, rather than discard for pickup by the city’s service vehicles, whatever they can
(E) Ease restrictions on the types of materials the city’s service vehicles will pick up for transport to its recycling center

IMO Option E
If the types of material consider for recycling are lowered then the volume of trash that goes to recycle center will be reduced.

Official Explanation
Regardless of the reason for the increase in the volume of material transported to landfills, reducing the volume of material available for transport to landfills would serve the stated objective. Choice (D) suggests a plan of action that, if successful, would help.
The correct answer is (D).

Answer = D.
The reason permanent disposal volume has increased is because of reduced pickup services. Therefore, that's the problem that needs to be tackled.
(A) Provide larger recycling containers to the residents of the city.
Size of recycling containers is not the issue at hand. The issue is that people are discarding items if pickup for recycling isnt available. This doesn't address the problem.
WRONG.
(B) Establish a community program to increase awareness of the benefits of recycling
Doesn't help. What good would bringing awareness do ? People who wont recycle due to lack of pickup wont. This is too mild a reason. What if even after awareness programs people are like Naaah, I aint going to drop the recycle. You come at my house to collect or I'm gonna discard.
WRONG.
(C) Establish additional recycling centers as near as possible to the city’s residential areas
This is tricky. Between C and D. But notice, AS NEAR AS POSSIBLE. But, how do we define that ? It could be 200 miles for that matter. This doesn't necessarily mean that it would be "walking near". They might still need pickup?
Not bullet proof.
WRONG.
(D) Provide incentives to the city’s residents to reuse, rather than discard for pickup by the city’s service vehicles, whatever they can
This is the CORRECT choice. We are giving a reason to these residents to go out of their way and recycle by giving them money. Now they have a reason to go the extra mile and do as the authorities want.
(E) Ease restrictions on the types of materials the city’s service vehicles will pick up for transport to its recycling center.
Again, restrictions were never the problem. Problem was people want PICKUP at their door step.
WRONG.
Hope it helps someone. Need good wishes for my GMAT attempt in August

Saakhi
