Editorial: The most vocal proponents of the proposed law are not permanent residents of this island but rather a few of the wealthiest summer residents, who leave when the vacation months have passed. These people will benefit from passage of this law while not having to deal with the problems associated with its adoption. Therefore, anyone who supports the proposed law is serving only the interests of a few outsiders at the cost of creating problems for the island’s permanent residents.
Which one of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
(A) The average income of the island’s summer residents is greater than the average income of its permanent residents.
(B) The problems associated with this law outweigh any benefit it might provide the island’s permanent residents.
(C) Most of the island’s summer residents would benefit from passage of this law.
(D) Most of the island’s summer residents support passage of this law.
(E) Most of the island’s permanent residents oppose passage of this law.

Stimulus: states that the proponents of the new law to be passed are all summer residents in island and will not be impacted with the law. Anyone who is supporting this is only trying to appease the outsiders. The argument relies on the
assumption that this law will not benefit the residents of the island.
IMO B
