The author concludes that the bill should be adopted. This is because the bill would deter people from doing something that poses a threat to safe driving.

We don’t have any premise that tells us when a bill should be adopted. So we want to get from what we learn in the existing premise — that the bill deters people from doing something that poses a threat to safe driving — to the idea that a bill should be adopted.

(A) doesn’t establish when a bill should be adopted. So it can’t establish the conclusion.

(B) establishes that SOME KIND of legislation is required in order to reduce the threat to public safety posed by car phones. But it doesn’t establish that THE SPECIFIC BILL referenced in the conclusion SHOULD be adopted. Just because legislation is required doesn’t mean THIS bill is required. And even if this bill were required, we still wouldn’t know that it SHOULD be adopted, because we don’t know that reducing threats to public safety are things that we should do.

(C) doesn’t establish when a bill should be adopted. So it can’t establish the conclusion. (Don’t pick this answer just because you think it’s supported by the stimulus. This is not a Must Be True or Most Strongly Supported question.)

(D) establishes that if a proposed law (bill) would reduce a threat to public safety, then it should be adopted. We know from the premises that the bill referenced in the conclusion reduces a threat to public safety because it deters people from doing something that poses a threat (using car phones while driving). Based on (D) this bill should be adopted.

(E) doesn’t establish when a bill should be adopted. So it can’t establish the conclusion.
