the first sentence said: if correctly addressed -> most arrive in 2 days.

otherwise
that's right.
but it only covers 2 of the 3 sentences in the stem.
in that case, this question is too easy.
LSAT is so mean and adds the 2nd sentence to disturb you:
"In fact, correctly addressed mail takes longer than this only when it
damaged in transit. "
so A looks like a possible contender.
but the 1st sentence reads: "Nearly all mail ...." so only a small
proportion of correctly addressed mails are damaged. then A is impossible.
I don't think common sense is much involved here.

【在 n***e 的大作中提到】

: the first sentence said: if correctly addressed -> most arrive in 2 days.
: this means most of the correctly addressed mails are not damaged, otherwise
: most of them would arrive in 3 or more days.
