39. The correct answer is E.
The original sentence contains several errors. First, "the amount of
car accidents" is incorrect. "Amount of" is used only with
uncountable nouns. Since accidents are countable, we must use
"number of" instead. Second, the comparison ("like accidents
caused by faulty wiring") is incorrect here because the comparison
is between two numbers, not between a number and a group of
accidents. Third, "have been" is incorrect here. This action occurred
exclusively in the past, so the simple past ("were relaxed") is
needed.
