Last year, AutoSafe sold a large number of new automobile
insurance policies and luxury cars were stolen at a particularly
high rate, resulting in a record number of theft-related insurance
claims submitted to AutoSafe. This year, Autosafe will no longer
sell insurance policies to owners of luxury cars. Therefore,
unless Autosafe sells a record number of policies to owners of
non-luxury cars, fewer theft-related claims will be submitted
this year.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the
argument relies?
(A) Each year, luxury cars are stolen at a higher rate than
are non-luxury cars.
(B) Customers who purchased policies last year are no
more likely to have their cars stolen this year than they
were last year.
(C) This year, the theft rate of non-luxury cars will not be
substantially higher than the theft rate of non-luxury
cars last year.
(D) This year, the number of stolen cars recovered by
AutoSafe policyholders will be greater than the
number of stolen cars recovered by policyholders
last year.
(E) The number of automobile thefts that a¤ected AutoSafe
policyholders last year was not nearly as high as the
number of thefts that a¤ected non-policyholders.
