Amid the present wave of job redundancies for skilled but unemployed

Amid the present wave of job redundancies for skilled but unemployed youth, the publication of an encouraging report on the viability of garage startup enterprises has led the Federal government to set up an investment fund, under its Federal light-industry program, to provide capital for such enterprises. This plan has drawn opposition from various quarters; the critics claim that similar funds, also set up under the Federal light-industry program, that aim to stimulate small enterprises frequently end up harming other American social groups unconnected to these enterprises.


critics claim : similar funds, also set up under the Federal light-industry program, that aim to stimulate small enterprises frequently end up harming other American social groups unconnected to these enterprises.

premise : Federal government decided to set up an investment solely based on a publication on garage start-up enterprises

We need to prove that the investment set-up will harm other social groups!
we need to prove that what happened with light-industry program is likely to happen with garage startup enterprises!


A. Garage enterprises in Washington State now produce almost 12% of the vehicle components previously imported from South East Asia.

C. The debate concerning the Federal light-industry program created a backlog in the Federal legislative schedule.

D. The union for Federal light-Industry workers was the prime source of the claim.

option A, C and D are irrelevant as it doesn't shine on how allocating funds to Garage enterprises effects other social groups!

B. The funding of the Federal light-industry program depends on the reallocation of resources earmarked for disadvantaged groups.

YES! if the Federal light-industry program got funded by taking away the available funds from disadvantaged groups then this indeed does harm those social groups!!!-very clear cut option



E. Programs like Federal light-industry programs have yielded great results in past.
this is kind of a weakener option-- this option is supporting the fact that Federal-Light industry programs are great whereas our job is to shine a negative light on those industries
