A public-service advertisement advises that people who have consumed alcohol should not drive until they can do so safely. In a hospital study, however, subjects questioned immediately after they consumed alcohol underestimated the time necessary to regain their driving ability. This result indicates that many people who drink before driving will have difficulty following the advertisement’s advice.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the argument above?

(A) Many people, if they plan to drink alcohol, make arrangements beforehand for a nondrinker to drive them home.
(B) The subjects in the hospital study generally rated their abilities more conservatively than would people drinking alcohol outside a hospital setting.
(C) Some people refrain from drinking if they will have to drive to get home afterward.
(D) The subjects in the hospital study were also questioned about the time necessary to regain abilities that do not play an important role in driving safely.
(E) Awareness of the public-service advertisement is higher among the general population than it was among the subjects in the hospital study.

Option A - INCORRECT.
Many people who drink may beforehand request for someone to take them home, but this occur in rare cases and this option can only occur if the people has a personal driver.

Option B - INCORRECT.
It does matter if its in a public setting or hospital setting. The advise is meant for both people drinking outside the hospital setting and those who regularly go for hospital checkup. However, the hospital study was carried out on the public and not a particular setting.

Option C - INCORRECT.
The statement in this option over times is rare and unrealistic, because must people don't know their gauge and can't figure out when they've gotten to their limit, because if they've being applying this rule there won't be any need for over emphasized public-service advertisement advises.

Option D - INCORRECT.
The time to regain consciousness is necessary after drinking, that is why the question was been asked frequently in the hospital study but still a reliable solution or answer to the estimated time to regain consciousness is unpredictable.

Option E - CORRECT.
This option most strongly support the argument. Awareness of the public-service advertisement is higher among the general population than it was among the subjects in the hospital study. However, advertisement by the public service is meant for the general public, but the hospital study is limited to those that comes to the hospital alone.
