Critical Reasoning

The advanced technology of ski boots and bindings has brought a dramatic drop in the incidence of injuries that occur on the slopes of ski resorts: from 9 injuries per 1,000 skiers in 1950 to 3 in 1980. As a result, the remainder of ski-related injuries, which includes all injuries occurring on the premises of a ski resort but not on the slopes, rose from 10 percent of all ski-related injuries in 1950 to 25 percent in 1980. The incidence of these injuries, including accidents such as falling down steps, increases with the amount of alcohol consumed per skier.
16. Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?
(A) As the number of ski injuries that occur on the slopes decreases, the number of injuries that occur on the premises of ski resorts increases.
(B) The amount of alcohol consumed per skier increased between 1950 and 1980.
(C) The technology of ski boots and bindings affects the incidence of each type of ski-related injury.
(D) If the technology of ski boots and bindings continues to advance, the incidence of ski-related injuries will continue to decline.
(E) Injuries that occurred on the slopes of ski resorts made up a smaller percentage of ski-related injuries in 1980 than in 1950.


please explain the question in details

-Technology---->drop incident of injuries on the SLOPES of the ski resorts.
-9 injuries in 1950, 3 injuries in 1980. (each per 1000) -->that's what E says though. there will be smaller percentage in 1980 than in 1950.
9 injuires(100%) in 1950, 3 injuries(67%) in 1980.
-The remainder injuries: rose 10% in 1950 to 25% in 1980.
These injuries increase with the amount of alcohol consumed per skier.

A)% vs. numbers; This seems to tell us that As A, B. A happens and then B happens because of A. A induces B to happen. In other words, the question sentence does not imply this way. It just merely gives us a fact without correlation or causation.
B)Honestly, I thought it was B first. However, I found E sounds more convincing. Sorry, hard to explain..I hope someone does.
c)Technology affects..."EACH" type....too extreme.
D)We can't foretell the future.
E)BULL'S EYE.

Agree with E, nicely explained above

Answer E seems to be logical one out of other answer choices
