Answer Choice

Hello @SorooshKosha, There must be a mistake in the workbook, because the correct answer is E. The answer sets up a comparison between severity of an incident vs. likelihood of an incident. In a small car, an incident would be more severe, but less likely. In a large car, an incident would be less severe, but more likely. The author claims that it is better to drive a small car. In other words, the author will accept a reduced chance of an incident, at the expense of greater severity. E matches this reasoning. Daily vigorous exercise: a wasting illness would be more severe, but less likely. No daily vigorous exercise: a wasting illness would be less severe, but more likely. Daily vigorous exercise is preferred, which follows the same reasoning pattern as the stimulus.

Thank you very much!
