E jumped out at me right away. If someone's trapped in a car, being able to smash the window is a safety feature, not a bug. So requiring laminated glass could actually make things more dangerous in that scenario.
This was pretty easy ngl. The passage says security AND safety don't unambiguously support the proposal, so we need something showing a downside to laminated glass. E does that perfectly.
Yeah same, took me like 30 seconds. Any answer that shows a reason laminated glass might not be all good works here.
wait why is A wrong? if people can't tell the difference, wouldn't that... hmm actually I don't see how that matters at all for whether we should require it.
right, A is just about appearance. Whether you can see the difference doesn't affect the security or safety argument at all.
What it tests
Whether you can complete the last sentence of an argument in a way that is logically consistent with it.
Common trap
Choosing an option that sounds plausible but contradicts the argument or introduces new information.
