The United States attempts to reduce the supply of illegal drugs by intercepting shipments and eradicating illegal crops. Despite these efforts, illegal drugs are still readily available, because growers, for example those in Colombia, move to different areas and plant smaller plots that are harder to find. So more effort should be made to reduce demand. This does not simply mean reducing the total number of people using illegal drugs. Because the important task is to cut consumption by heavy users, drug-dependent criminals in the country’s jails should be treated for their addiction. In this way drug-related social problems can be reduced.
Explanation
The correct answer is D.
The argument is that demand for illegal drugs need to be reduced by treating drug-dependent criminals for their addiction. A is irrelevant as there argument does not refer to the price of drugs. B may actually weaken the argument by suggesting that the problem is already being tackled in a different way. C may also weaken the argument by implying that drug-user could refuse treatment for their addiction, which would mean that the method of reducing drug-related problems given in the argument would not be effective. D most strengthens the argument because if heavy drug-users are most responsible for drug-related crime, treating their addictions should help reduce this crime, which is the argument given in the passage E may strengthen the argument but only slightly as it is only an opinion.
