39. The correct answer is (E). The only evidence the spokesperson has provided that the

coasters still in operation are safe is that no fatalities occurred last year involving any

one of these coasters. To better assess their safety, it would be helpful to determine the

incidence of not just fatal accidents but also non-fatal accidents involving these

coasters. Although the investigations described in choices (B), (C), and (D) might shed

some additional light on the safety of these coasters, the investigation described in

choice (E) relates most directly to the specific coasters that the spokesperson claims to

be safe.
