Road damage is often down to a few factors such as the quantity of traffic, the weight of the vehicles passing on it, and environmental conditions. XYZ town has a port, called ABC. To get to ABC, there is a road, that is divided into two lanes. One for the traffic going towards ABC port, and the other for traffic going away from ABC port. The lane of the road that leads to ABC port, has significantly less damage, than the lane that leads away from it. Which of the following helps explain this best?

The lane of the road that leads to ABC port, has significantly less damage, than the lane that leads away from it. Which of the following helps explain this best? Correct Answer Less goods are exported, and more goods are imported from the port.
Option 1 is correct, as, if the goods imported are more, then the vehicles going away from the port are heavier, which causes more wear and tear, compared to the other lane, which is used for exports. Option 2 is an unrelated fact that does not strengthen or weaken the argument. Option 3 is the diametric opposite, as this would lead to a great number of imports.
Hence, option 1 is correct.
