CR - Southern airways vs Air Dacentaria

[RonPurewal]

in any case, there's no reason to think through that many steps.
• the person's reasoning is based on a statistic.
• E doesn't alter the meaning of the statistic.
so E has no effect.

I agree B shows that southern airways have routes more dangerous... but, I feel this involves an assumption that southern airways have lesser accidents from P to D or that Southern airways has difficult routes that is why there are more accidents.

I also do not refute the GPrep answer.. just trying to understand where should we draw a line for not overthinking these kinda stuff to get the answer right. Help.

"cast doubt" is not the same thing as "disprove".

you're not trying to PROVE the argument wrong, are you? because that isn't something that will ever happen.

just trying to understand where should we draw a line

if you're going to doubt an answer choice... you'd better be prepared to DEFEND ANOTHER answer choice. is there ANOTHER answer choice you thought was CORRECT?

remember -- these problems will ALWAYS have ...
... 4 INCORRECT answers
... 1 CORRECT answer

...so, if you encounter what you think is a "not quite perfect" answer -- but the other four answers are WRONG -- then, obviously, you need to pick the "not quite perfect" answer.
