Hi Team,
Can anyone help with this - city-financial-manager-while-the-city-budget-for-children-s-programs-221109.html? I believe statement E is still a strong contender for this problem
Although the OA has been set to D

Argument reasoning is based on lower children %. The gap in the argument is lower % means lower children in the city.

So here’s the thing. The City Manager is basically saying that since the proportion of the children in the population is less than what it was 10-20 years ago, fewer programs for children are necessary and we can consequently cut expenditures for such programs. Please focus on the word fewer for a sec. Read Option E. If I negate it, I get that Children’s program are not underutlized. Which means, they are fully utilized. Which means that irrespective of the number of children in the city, you can’t have fewer programs because they are all utilized. The higher logic is, since children are lesser, you don’t need as many programs as it is a waste. But it is not (if we negate option E).
The City Financial Manager’s conclusion rests on the word "necessary" — which implicitly introduces utilization into the argument. If programs are fully utilized, then all existing programs are needed by the current child population, directly contradicting the claim that "fewer programs are necessary." This makes E a legitimate assumption challenge
