Industries monitored by government safety inspectors are more dangerous to workers than industries that aren’t monitored by government safety inspectors.

The correct answer will be a hypothesis that explains a key difference between government-monitored industries and non-government-monitored industries. That difference must result in the latter being safer for workers. For example, the government might tend to monitor the most dangerous industries, or industries without their own safety procedures.

This suggests that the government-inspected industries would be rather safe. We need to know why they’re less safe than non-government-monitored industries, and this doesn't help us with that.

This might explain why government-monitored industries are not safer than other industries, but it doesn't explain why they're actually more dangerous. We need a distinction between the two.

Government-monitored industries are less safe because the industries are inherently dangerous. Other industries pose less risks to workers, which is why they're not monitored. This explains the surprising finding in the study.

If workers are more cautious than usual in government-monitored industries, wouldn’t injuries be less common? This doesn't explain why these industries are actually more dangerous.

We’re not interested in differences within categories, only between them. Government-monitored industries are overall less safe than other industries, and we need to know why that is.
