Improved technology and equipment often result in fewer injuries during high-risk activities such as mountaineering and scuba diving. But participant education also plays a large role in reducing the number of injuries sustained during these activities. People who are poorly trained in these activities run a much higher risk of injury even if provided with the latest and best equipment.
Which of the following can be properly inferred from the information above?
a. Training is a more important safety factor than equipment in high-risk activities.
b. People who are properly trained in their activities do not sustain injuries.
c. The safety benefits of the latest equipment can be offset by inadequate preparation.
d. Mountaineering and scuba diving are more risky than any other activities.
e. People with the latest equipment often neglect proper training.
can somebody explain this.... |

For inference questions, we're looking for an answer that MUST BE TRUE based on one or more of the statements in the stimulus.
One trap to beware is the extreme answer - we can only draw conclusions that are as strong as the evidence provided.
In this argument, we have pretty wishy-washy language. The only answer that MUST be true is (c), which is deducible from the last sentence in the stimulus.
