26. Columnist on the arts: My elected government representatives were within their rights to vote to support the arts with tax dollars. While funded by the government. however, some artists have produced works of art that are morally or aesthetically offensive to many taxpayers. Nonetheless. my conclusion is that no taxpayers have been treated unjustly whose tax dollars are used to fund some particular work of art that they may find abominable. Which one of the following principles, if valid, most supports the columnist's argument?

(A) Taxpayers should be allowed to decide whether a portion of their tax dollars is to be used to fund the arts.
(B) The funding of a particular activity is warranted if it is funded by elected representatives who legitimately fund that activity in general. (C) Elected representatives are within their rights to fund any activity that is supported by a majority of their
constituents.
(D) Those who resent taxation to subsidize offensive art should vote against their incumbent government representatives. (E) Since taxpayers are free to leave their country if they disapprove of their representatives decisions they have no right to complain about arts funding.

没有水平的问题。答案是b我选了a 。关于b 答案我看不太懂选项在原文中哪里有体现？？特别是粗体字

1。如果以A为原则，就是纳税人决定钱用在那里，那政府的行为就不合理了。

26. Columnist on the arts: My elected government representatives were within their rights to vote to ...

Spot the question type: principle -> must be true

Core of the argument:

Taxpayers have been treat unjustly whose tax dollars are used to fund some particular work of tart ---> they must not find abominable

If funded by the government, elected government representatives were within their rights to vote to support the arts within tax dollars --->Some works of art are either morally or aesthetically offensive  ---> offend many taxpayers  ---> They find abominable ---> no tax payers have been treat unjustly whose tax dollars are used to fund some particular work of art

P1: If funded by the government, elected government representatives were within their rights to vote to support the arts within tax dollars.

P3: Some works of art are either morally or aesthetically offensive  ---> offend many taxpayers.

( Not offensive to many taxpayers ---> none of the works of arts showed to them are either morally or aesthetically offensive )


So, apparently, If funded by the gov, no one be treated unjustly.

Answer B
