Based on the information in the passage, which one of the following sentences would most logically complete the last ...

Hi @rebut,

Answer choice (B) is incorrect because the amount of subduction that is occurring has nothing to do with the type of subduction. There is no information provided in the passage to suggest that frequency of subduction corresponds in any way with the angle at which one plate subducts.

Hope this is helpful! Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Though the passage doesn't previously provide that information, if it were to be true, it would greatly strengthen the claim the author is making, no? That said, when approaching these extension questions, will the correct answer ever contain information not said/assumed in the passage?

If it were true, it would indeed strengthen the argument, however, this is not a strengthen question. It's asking what would be the best completion. Which is essentially a must be true question. The only times that we would be asked to select an answer that is not supported by the passage is on a strengthen or weaken question, which will always ask us "which of the following if true"
