The argument’s main conclusion follows logically if which one of the following is assumed?
(A) The more attention one pays to driving, the safer a driver one is.
(B) The only way to reduce the threat to public safety posed by car phones is through legislation.
(C) Some distractions interfere with one’s ability to safely operate an automobile.
(D) Any proposed law that would reduce a threat to public safety should be adopted.
(E) Car phone use by passengers does not distract the driver of the car.

This is a tough assumption and I was torn btwn A and D.
heres why I chose D "The bill that makes using car phones while driving illegal should be adopted. My support of this bill is motivated by a concern for public safety." This is the main conclusion. The plan should be adopted. The support is motived by public safety. The argument assumes that a law should be adopted if it can reduce a threat to public safety.
I'd say the choice of D would put me in the list of those who should watch evaluating answers in the order of reading them also causated reading choice (A) again, but nothing in assumption questions belongs to explicit wording either and thus it should be A as the word safety has not really been explained and confused with attention presumably. You are free to let me know ..
