Governments should fund space programs. Which weakens this argument?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is: "Issues like poverty and healthcare are urgent."
Weakening argument: "Issues like poverty and healthcare are urgent" — This argument directly contradicts the government's spending on space. It suggests that the government has limited resources (budget), and that it is more important to focus and fund basic problems like poverty and healthcare than the space program. Therefore, it weakens the main statement.
