The damage that trucks do to highways escalates dramatically with the weight borne per axle. New regulations increase the maximum permitted vehicle weight; these regulations will therefore allow onto the highway trucks capable of doing even more damage than those currently permitted.
The argument is open up to criticism on the grounds that it A. fails to establish that the level of damage done by trucks is a serious problem B. omits evidence about one of the two relevant factors C. ignores the possibility that careful driving can lessen damage to highways D. presumes that trucks are the only vehicles capable of causing substantial damage to highways E. presumes that something is bound to happen just because it is allowed to happen

The argument is open up to criticism on the grounds that it
A. fails to establish that the level of damage done by trucks is a serious problem
B. omits evidence about one of the two relevant factors
C. ignores the possibility that careful driving can lessen damage to highways
D. presumes that trucks are the only vehicles capable of causing substantial damage to highways
E. presumes that something is bound to happen just because it is allowed to happen
conclusion: damage onto the highways is even more
premise: new regulations increase the maximum permitted vehicle weight
于是我们得到了argument core, 即增加maximum weight会增大卡车对路面的损害.
