Verbal Practice Test 5
Directions: For this question, select the best of the answer choices given.

Each of the following, if true, raises a consideration arguing against the conclusion above, EXCEPT:
The question asks which does NOT argue against the conclusion. Options A, B, D, and E all raise concerns about the space-defense project (resource diversion, talent absorption, inefficient allocation, tax burden).
