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.
