If highways were restricted to cars and only those truck with capacity of less than 8 tons, most the truck traffic would be forced to run outside highway. Such a reduction in the amount of truck traffic would reduce the risk of collision in highway.
Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the conclusion drawn in the second sentence?
A. Cars with a capacity of more than 8 tons are already excluded outside highways.
B. Highways are experiencing overcrowded traffic primarily because of sharp increases in car traffic.
C. Many drivers of trucks would rather buy truck with a capacity of less than 8 tons than be excluded from highways.
D. The number of collisions that occur near highways has decreased in recent years.
E. Trucks that have a capacity of more than 8 tons cause a disproportionately large number of collisions in highways.

cars and only those truck with capacity of less than 8 tons are allowed
conclusion:- reducing traffic from trucks more than 8 T helps in reducing collision
Strenghten
Pre- thinking can give a example or situation in which supports the conculsion
A. Cars with a capacity of more than 8 tons are already excluded outside highways.
This will weaken the concl- incorrect
B. Highways are experiencing overcrowded traffic primarily because of sharp increases in car traffic.
Same as A weakening
C. Many drivers of trucks would rather buy truck with a capacity of less than 8 tons than be excluded from highways.
Again this will weaken the reasoning
D. The number of collisions that occur near highways has decreased in recent years.
Irrelevant
E. Trucks that have a capacity of more than 8 tons cause a disproportionately large number of collisions in highways.
Correct :- gives a situation/ or reason why 8 T trucks are excluded.
IMO-E

Argument Summary: If we prohibit the circulation of large trucks then the traffic would be way less.
Reasoning: We need to find an answer that tells us that large trucks are causing an abnormal traffic congestion.
A. Cars with a capacity of more than 8 tons are already excluded outside highways. ---- This would weaken.
B. Highways are experiencing overcrowded traffic primarily because of sharp increases in car traffic. ---- It does not single out trucks with a capacity of more than 8 tons as the main factor.
C. Many drivers of trucks would rather buy truck with a capacity of less than 8 tons than be excluded from highways. --- Out of scope
D. The number of collisions that occur near highways has decreased in recent years. --- Out of Scope
E. Trucks that have a capacity of more than 8 tons cause a disproportionately large number of collisions in highways. ----- CORRECT. It gives us a reason why this trucks of more than 8 tons are causing traffic and, therefore, why the plan could work.
