The first sentence has a causal relationship: the substantial increase in the number of flights has caused the number of aircraft collisions to increase. This sentence has repercussions for the correct answer so I would keep it in mind as I read the stimulus. The stimulus states the reason why fatalities occur is because of an inherent flaw in the cabin design and so the author concludes that by ridding the planes of the cabin design, we should reduce the number of fatalities. This appears to be a reasonable conclusion given the information we have and this questions asks how we can better reach that objective or reducing fatalities. A is not helpful because we are already removing all of the seats so why do we need to buy planes with no seats? But B would help matters because we were told in the first sentence that the number of flights has an impact on the number of collisions and therefore, fatalities so if the number of flights remains the same AND we remove the seats, the number of fatalities should decrease. C, D, E don't strengthen the stimulus and as for E, we don't know what the impact of raising prices is on the number of fatalities and collisions.
