Passage Summary: A journalist claims daytime driving is riskier because more people die in crashes during the day than at night.

Conclusion: It is more dangerous for an individual to drive during the day than during the night.

Reasoning: Data from the last ten years shows that the total number of fatal traffic accidents is higher during the day than at night.

Analysis: This argument fails to account for the 'base rate'—there are significantly more drivers on the road during the day, which naturally leads to more accidents even if the risk per person is lower. Since this is a 'Strengthen Except' question, four choices will support the idea that daytime is more dangerous (perhaps by citing visibility issues or driver behavior). The correct answer will likely point out the higher volume of daytime traffic, which explains the data without supporting the conclusion that the day is inherently more dangerous.
