Could people not wearing seat belts be a reason for discrepancy since it leads to death?
But why?
It doesn't explain why the normal course of events didn't apply here in this city.
To me D and E are similar because if people didn't wear seat belts that would lead to more traffic deaths?
Like for C if there is higher average automobile traffic the speed of the cars could be slow since they are stuck in traffic.
How do should i think in these situations since they all seem like discrepancies if i could think hard enough.
To answer these questions, you should think about how both items of the discrepancy could be reconciled.
Notice the difference between (D) and (E)—(D) explains what's happening in this city that leads to deaths despite the law. (E) doesn't explain why they weren't wearing seat belts. It's precisely the kind of wrong answer we predicted in our intro to this question type! It explains the deaths, but doesn't reconcile them with the other facts.
(C), on the other hand, like (D), provides an explanation; there's been a greater number of deaths (not a greater percentage) because there are more cars on the road.
That's what the right answer must do—explain the apparent discrepancy in a way that bridges both sides of the divide.
