Press Secretary: Our critics claim that the president'srecent highway project cancellations demonstrate a vindictivedesire to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. Theyoffer as evidence the fact that 90 percent of the projects canceled were insuch districts. But all of the canceled projects had been identified aswasteful in a report written by respected nonpartisan auditors. So thepresident's choice was clearly motivated by sound budgetary policy, notpartisan politics. Which of the following is an assumption on which the press secretary's argument depends? A. Canceling highway projects was not the only way forthe president to punish legislative districts controlled by opposition parties. B. The scheduled highway projects identified as wastefulin the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by thepresident's party. [url=]C[/url] . The number of projects canceled was a significantproportion of all the highway projects that were to be undertaken by thegovernment in the near future. D. The highway projects canceled in districts controlledby the president's party were not generally more expensive than the projectscanceled in districts controlled by opposition parties. E. Reports by nonpartisan auditors are not generallyregarded by the opposition parties as a source of objective assessments ofgovernment projects.
