Historian: Megapolis was once administered wisely, with vision and with universal public support. That’s how it became a great city.
City council member: Not so. Megapolis’ past glory was achieved not because of greater vision, but because power was concentrated in the hands of autocrats and hence more easily exercised.
Which one of the following best captures what is at issue in the dispute between the historian and the city council member?
(A) whether Megapolis was once a great city
(B) what the best explanation is for Megapolis’ past glory
(C) whether vision and wisdom are important in urban administration
(D) whether the administration of Megapolis once had popular support
(E) why Megapolis is no longer a well-run city
