This question makes no sense at all.

I do identify that this is a paradox question but here's what ticked me off and I'm sure I am not the only one. The last sentence basically sums up that there has been an alarming trend of recent traffic fatalities of SUVs and makes me already shift my thinking to solving a paradox with recent traffic fatalities. However, when I read the question, the question states "Which one of the following, if true, most helps to account for the response of auto safety experts to the popularity of SUVs? So are we talking about the popularity of SUVs or the recent traffic fatalities?

Hi @Tyler808,

The answer to your question is a bit of both. This whole notion of traffic data lies is an idea upon which auto safety experts react. Think of it like one of those Youtube React videos. The auto safety expert is sitting in the chair, and sees a stat go across the screen that says "more and more people are buying SUV's." The auto expert goes "wow that's scary". Huh? Why? We thought SUV's were safer?? THIS is the apparent paradox you are meant to resolve.

Hope this helps! If you need any more clarification just ask!
