In Gandania,
where the government has a monopoly on tobacco sales, the incidence of
smoking-related health problems has risen steadily for the last twenty years. The
health secretary recently proposed a series of laws aimed at curtailing tobacco
use in Gandania. Profits from tobacco sales, however, account for ten percent of
Gandania’s annual revenues. Therefore, Gandania cannot afford to institute the
proposed laws.
Which of the
following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A.
All
health care in Gandania is government-funded.
B.
Implementing
the proposed laws is not likely to cause a significant increase in the amount
of tobacco Gandania exports.
C.
The
percentage of revenue Gandania receives from tobacco sales has remained steady
in recent years.
D.
Profits
from tobacco sales far surpass any other single source of revenue for the
Gandanian government.
